“Whenever a vice-president was appointed, there were problems within Congress,” NCP general secretary DP Tripathi said.

He also said he had nothing against Rahul. “I’m merely drawing your attention to the history of appointment of vice-president. Whenever the vices of presidency began in Congress, a vice president was appointed,” he said. Before Rahul, Arjun Singh and Jitendra Prasada had been the party vice presidents.
