Congress president Sonia Gandhi has responded to a letter which was written by a group of party leaders, who sought a complete change or repair if necessary of the organisation, saying that all of them should get together and find a new chief, as she does not want to carry out the responsibilities any further, people who are familiar with the development said.

In her response, Gandhi has told them that, she was not interested in leading the party once again when the CWC (Congress Working Committee) on August 10 requested her to assume the reins of the organisation again, a senior functionary said on condition of anonymity.

Sonia Gandhi accepted the post of the interim chief after much persuasion only on one condition that the party will find her replacement soon.

The leaders made desperate pleas to her after Rahul Gandhi rejected their calls to withdraw his resignation that he had put in on May 25 in the wake of party’s rout in the national elections.
