Congress gears up for younger look with Rahul at No.2

The Congress is gearing up for a younger look with general secretary Rahul Gandhi set to assume a more prominent role in the party, insiders say.

With his elevation as vice president or working president likely next week, Rahul Gandhi, 42, is expected to give responsible positions to many young leaders in the All India Congress Committee in tune with the changing demographics of the country and to make the 127-year-old party more in sync with the times.

"Rahul Gandhi is already number two after party president Sonia Gandhi," Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi said while reflecting the mood in the party.

"The party has been and will bring in more young leaders."
