Endorsing the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, former Union Shipping Minister and senior Congress leader G K Vasan said in Chennai on Monday that party workers were not in favour of a non-Gandhi party chief.<br /><br />Last week, when asked if a non-Gandhi leader can become Congress president, former Union Finance Minister and senior party leader P Chidambaram told a television channel “I think so. Someday yes.” He, however, said, “I do not know” when asked about a timeline for such a development to happen.<br /><br />Against this background, Vasan told reporters in Chennai that “no Congress worker or leader from Kashmir to Kanyakumari wants a person from non-Gandhi clan to be the Congress president. There is no such idea. This is my opinion.”<br /><br />The opinion of Vasan, endorsing the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and reiterating his loyalty to them, assumes significance as he wields considerable clout in the faction-ridden Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. <br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
