According to reports, it was Congress president Sonia Gandhi who decided to go against the wishes of the Congress working committee, which wanted the party vice-president to be its prime ministerial candidate.
Sources say Rahul Gandhi has accepted the role given to him. He said, "I am a dedicated worker of party, whatever responsibility party gives me, I will carry it out".
Congress leader Janardhan Dwivedi reportedly said: "All in CWC wanted Rahul to be named PM candidate, but the Congress president intervened. She said this is not the party's tradition (to announce its PM candidate before elections)."
In the past, Rahul Gandhi had appeared reluctant to take up any responsibility in the government. However, with the Lok Sabha elections being just a few months away, he has said that he was a foot soldier of the Congress and was willing to undertake any responsibility given to him by the party.
Talking to a Hindi newspaper recently, he had said: "I am a 'sepoy' of Congress. I will obey whatever order is given to me. I will do whatever Congress wants me to do ... Decisions are taken in our party by senior leaders."
Speculations were rife that the Gandhi scion would be anointed as the Congress's prime ministerial candidate on January 17, which would have made him take on BJP's PM nominee Narendra Modi directly in this year's general elections.
