NewsX@9- Rahul Gandhi all set to play larger role in Congress

NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. Here we raise the issue of role played by Rahul Gandhi in Congress. Voices are rising within the Congress for a larger role to Rahul Gandhi with senior leader Digvijay Singh on Monday urging him to move to the party's mainstream and another senior functionary indicating that Gandhi could be projected as the prime minister in the next Lok Sabha polls. Spokesman Manish Tewari also said that there was growing demand for a bigger role for Rahul Gandhi. A section of party is also pitching for projecting prime ministerial candidate in 2014 and Rahul Gandhi is seen as the prime contender. Law Minister Salman Khurshid told a newspaper last week that the party had seen just "cameos" of Rahul Gandhi's thoughts and ideas, and that the party was waiting for him to weave these into a grand announcement. So we ask today- Does Rahul Gandhi have it in him to bring Congress back to power 2014? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX's debate special show NewsX@9.
