| No room for Rahul in Cabinet now: Sonia | | |
NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday gave clear hints that there was no room for young party leaders in the Union Council of Ministers as of now and said Rahul Gandhi had himself said that he would like to "wait and learn" before taking up a position of responsibility.
"I am not saying they are not doing very much. But I feel that they can certainly do a little more, wait a little more and gain a little more experience in Parliament," she said, in an interview when asked why young party leaders were not being made ministers.
"The Congress is working in a coalition and therefore we do not have that many ministries at our own disposal to give to our colleagues," the AICC president further said.
"That number is restricted. So even if I would like to do so, circumstances do not permit me to do so", she said.
To a question whether that applied to a person whose surname is Gandhi, she said that Rahul himself has said on a number of occasions that he would rather like to "wait and learn before taking up a position of responsibility".
Besides Rahul, the other young faces of the Congress include Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Jitin Prasad, Navin Jindal, Dipendra Singh Hooda, Madhu Yakshi Goud, Kuldeep Bishnoi and Milind Deora. |
