A division of authority in the Congress, with Rahul Gandhi as the leader in the Lok Sabha and a person from outside the Gandhi family as president, could be a possible way out of the tussle in the party, as Ghulam Nabi Azad called on party president Sonia Gandhi on Friday.
Mr. Azad's meeting with Ms. Gandhi came a day after Mr. Gandhi had reached out to a G-23 leader, former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and held a 45-minute meeting.
G-23 refers to the group that has been pushing for a collective and inclusive leadership at levels of decision since August 2020 when they wrote a letter to Ms. Gandhi, seeking sweeping changes.
