Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has turned down requests to take over as Congress president, a role that her brother Rahul Gandhi relinquished after the party's national election debacle in May. Sources say Priyanka Gandhi, 47, has told senior Congress leaders that there is no question of her taking the top post; she would rather continue to serve the party in her current role. In May, days after the election results, Rahul Gandhi had reportedly said, while conveying his decision to give up the top job, "leave my sister out of it".
