Sonia Gandhi Can be Mentor, Rahul Should Lead, Says Digvijaya Singh: Highlights
New Delhi: Senior leader Digvijaya Singh, in an exclusive interview with NDTV, said party vice-president Rahul Gandhi should assume "full-time" leadership of the Congress.

Here are the highlights of his interview:


  • Rahul Gandhi should take the charge and Sonia Gandhi should become the mentor.
  • It's time for Rahul Gandhi to take complete charge of Congress.
  • AICC election should be over mid-year; that could be the time Rahul takes over.
  • I have repeatedly told Rahul to participate more aggressively in Parliament.
  • Sonia Gandhi should move into mentorship role of Chairperson of UPA.
  • Rahul Gandhi concerned about lack of connect with aspirational middle class India.
  • If PM had spoken on conversions, we would have allowed Rajya Sabha to function.
  • Subramaniun Swamy is being like a loose cannon; why doesn't he talk to the police instead of the media.
  • I certainly empathise with Shashi tharoor: there should be a free trial.
  • Cannot say why Shashi Tharoor was removed as party spokesperson.
  • Party is concerned about Sunanda Pushkar probe; he is innocent till proven guilty.
  • Chief Justice has a right to personal opinion on PM, why go public with it.
