Sonia Gandhi was on Saturday appointed as interim president of the Congress at a crucial meeting of the party’s working committee in New Delhi after Rahul Gandhi refused plea by partymen to take back his resignation. The announcement was made Saturday night after Congress Working Committee (CWC) accepted Rahul Gandhi’s resignation at its second meeting of the day. The party’s highest decision-making body banked on the experience and tested leadership of Sonia Gandhi, to lead it in what the CWC described as “trying times”. Former Union Minister and sitting MP from Patiala, Preneet Kaur also hailed Sonia being made the interim president.
