Siddaramaiah greets Rahul on assuming AICC President post

Raichur, Karnataka, Dec 16: Wishing Rahul Gandhi for taking new responsibility in the Congress party, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that Mr Rahul Gandhi will become India’s future leader as he had already proved during the Gujarat election campaign by attracting the younger generation widely.

Talking to newsmen here on Saturday before leaving for Kalaburagi district to participate in the Sadhana Sambhrama, he said Ms Sonia Gandhi has only retired from the post of AICC President and not from the politics. "She will always guide the party with ideologies," he added.
Replying to a question, Mr Siddaramaiah said that he will also retire from politics after the next Assembly election.
"Yes, I too had said this is my last election in 2013 but decided to contest even in 2018 as communal forces were trying to divide the society on religion basis." UNI
