New Delhi: After nearly three decades of having Sitaram Kesri (from 1996 to 1998), a non-Gandhi family leader, as AICC President, now the grand-old Congress party is all set to have another non-Gandhi family leader as the next AICC Chief, going by the developments inside the party.
With Rahul Gandhi showing little interest in heading the party and an aging Sonia Gandhi suffering from health issues, the names of Congress veterans such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, AICC General Secretary Mukul Wasnik, former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram are doing the rounds for taking over Congress leadership at the National-level.
