His statement rekindled speculation about the 50-year-old returning at the helm of affairs, as the party prepares to conduct internal elections so that a full-time president can take over from interim chief Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi said that he was “willing to work for the party as all of you desire”, according to senior Congress leader Pawan Bansal, who was present at the meeting. Asked whether Gandhi’s comment signalled his return as chief, Bansal said: “No one has an issue with Rahul Gandhi.... The process of electing a Congress president is in the process.”
