What Sonia Gandhi said when she was asked about Rahul Gandhi's elevation to Congress' president

New Delhi: Ahead of the Congress party meeting on late Tuesday evening, party national president Sonia Gandhi evaded the question on escalation of son and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi as the party president.

"People will come to know of the matter when it happens," she said.

Sonia Gandhi had called a dinner-meeting of MPs and office bearers. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh and MP Shashi Tharoor, among others, were present at the dinner.

There have been speculations that a reshuffle in the party is likely to happen after the Parliament Session that is to end tomorrow.
