Ahead of ongoing political crisis in Congress after massive defeat by the hands of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in just concluded Lok Sabha elections, former Union Minister and BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has advice for Rahul Gandhi. As reports suggest that Rahul Gandhi is stuck to his decision of stepping down as Congress national president, Sinha on Thursday said that Gandhi should follow through on his decision or he will risk losing "public estimation". In a message to Rahul Gandhi posted on Twitter, Yashwant Sinha, who quit the BJP last year, suggested that the Congress now should be run by praesidium in the short term. "If Rahul Gandhi does not stand firm on his resignation, he will lose further in public estimation. Let the party be run by a praesidium or any other arrangement at least for some time,” Sinha tweeted. If Rahul Gandhi does not stand firm on his resignation, he will lose further in public estimation.
