Thiruvananthapuram, Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Tuesday said ”the nation wants Wayanad Lok Sabha member Rahul Gandhi as party PresIdent and its a clarion call not only from the rank and file of the party but also from all secular minded, liberal, peace loving citizens of this great nation.It’s time to capture their imagination,” the leader of the opposition said in a letter to Mr Gandhi.”We are going through an unprecedented crisis and Madam Sonia Gandhi has been struggling, despite her health care issues, to rudder this boat through these tempestuous times. But to match the crookedness and the robustness of the BJP, we need to have your young and dynamic leadership at the helm of affairs,” Chennithala said in the letter.Urging Mr Gandhi to reconsider his earlier decision to resign from the party president post, Chennnithala said “I appeal to your good self on behalf of all the Congress Workers and the secular and liberal citizenry of this great Nation to take over the reigns of the party and lead us in this struggle to rediscover the spirit of India.”Claiming that this will infuse unmatched enthusiasm among party cadres and will catapult the Party towards recapturing the past glory, Mr Chennnithala said “It’s time to rediscover this nation and it’s through you only, it will happen.
