Rahul Gandhi set to become Congress President uncontested
New Delhi, Dec 4 (IBNS): Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi is all set to assume the party's topmost post without any contest, media reports said.
Rahul, who is filing his nomination to become the Congress chief, met senior party leaders at the headquarters on Monday.
Though the nomination process has started at 11 a.m., no one other than Rahul is likely to turn up to take part in the party election.
