Sir — It is amusing to hear Congress leader Digvijaya Singh assert that party vice president Rahul Gandhi does not hanker after power, unlike Mr Narendra Modi. The Congress fought the lok Sabha election under the leadership of Mr Gandhi.

This means that Mr Gandhi would have taken over the prime ministership if the Congress had won. How can then Mr Singh say that his party’s vice president is not after powerIJ
