“Isn’t the Congress fed up of planting ‘Rahul’s imminent elevation’ stories”? Been reading them for years now. Just do it & let him get on,” Abdullah tweeted.

There has been recurrent speculation of Rahul Gandhi taking over the reins of the party from his mother and Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who has led the party for nearly 18 years.
