Rahul Gandhi, who assumed the post of Congress President in the year 2017, resigned from the post after an embarrassing defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Congress performed so poorly in this election that the party could win only 52 seats. Rahul himself lost the election to Amethi. After his resignation, UPA president Sonia Gandhi was elected as the interim president of the Congress. At the time of leaving the post, Rahul had told senior leaders not to work together with him. Currently, Rahul has criticized the central government a lot on the issue of India-China tension and has raised many questions about it from the government.
