Rahul Gandhi is the son of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Congress president Sonia Gandhi. He is presently the general secretary of the All India Congress Committee, a post he was appointed to on September 24, 2007, in a reshuffle of the party secretariat.
In the same reshuffle he was also given charge of the Indian Youth Congress and the National Students' Union of India. Rahul entered politics in 2004, standing from his father's former constituency of Amethi in the Lok Sabha elections, and won with a landslide majority. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress revived itself in Uttar Pradesh winning 21 out of the total 80 seats and the credit for this turnaround was given to Rahul Gandhi. It is widely believed he is being groomed to be the next Congress nominee for Prime Minister of India.
