NEW DELHI: With the election for the Congress president’s post due next month, names of probable candidates have started doing the rounds in political galleries. If it will be a Nehru-Gandhi, will it be Rahul or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra? If it has to be a non-Nehru-Gandhi, who would that person be to succeed a Nehru-Gandhi after 24 years as Congress president?
Several non-Nehru-Gandhi names are being talked about ahead of declaration of the schedule for election. They include Ambika Soni, Meira Kumar, Mukul Wasnik, Pawan Bansal and PL Punia. Among the G-23 members, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Manish Tewari or Shashi Tharoor may contest the election.
