Rahul May Like To Be Cong Prez Through Internal Poll: Moily 

Senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily on Friday said Rahul Gandhi would like to emerge as the party president through an internal election process, and hinted that he may assume the charge as early as next month.

The Gandhi scion had recently said that he was "absolutely ready" to take up an executive responsibility if the party asked him to do so. The former Union minister said that Rahul's taking over would be a game-changer for the party. "He (Rahul) should immediately take over as Congress president. That's good for the party, good for the country," Moily said.

The internal election process in states is expected to be completed this month, which would be followed by the one at the AICC level, the former chief minister of Karnataka said. Asked if he expected Rahul to take over next month, Moily said, "Possibly yes".

On what needs to be done to boost the prospects of the Congress, he said, "Rahul Gandhi is doing it. We will have to address the issues in respect of each of the state, because each state is different from the rest. So, that requires state-wise strategies not only for the coming state elections but also parliamentary polls in 2019." Moily said Rahul has a "new approach and new method".

On the coming Assembly elections in Karnataka, Moily said, "Congress will come out with absolute majority. There is no question of BJP coming back."
