Tenure of Gulam Nabi Azad in Rajya Sabha is completing on 15th February. Surely, he is not being renominated. Kharge, the senior leader of Congress Party and till his defeat in 2019 parliamentary election was the leader in the lower house of the party likely to take over the leader position in RS. Kharge is a very smart politician, he is not a signatory of the letter written to Mrs Sonia Gandhi, claiming that in absence of regular party chief, party functioning is suffering. Sources say approximately all the signatories including Azad,  Sibbal, Anand Sharma, though holding an important position in party but the high command of the party thinks otherwise and feels that they are not now dependable and in future, there is the possibility that they are replaced with new blood. Kharge is also close to Rahul and his team and stood like a rock when after the sad demise of  Ahmad Patel, the leadership of Gandhi was challenged by many Congress leaders, sources say. All the combination are in favour of Kharge and soon will be seen as the leader of the party in RS, sources say?
