Rahul Gandhi meets PM



NEW DELHI: Amid talks of a possible Cabinet reshuffle, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi and Member of Parliament called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday. There have been repeated demands from within the Congress that Gandhi play a "larger role" in the organisation and the government.
The sources in Congress said that the meeting was "purely routine" and on policy issues designed to increase Rahul Gandhi's footprint on major issues. They also made it clear that Rahul Gandhi would not join the government.
On Tuesday Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had separate meetings with President Pranab Mukherjee. There has been speculation about a reshuffle in the Cabinet for quite some time now, especially after the exit of Trinamool Congress ministers both at the levels of Cabinet and ministers of state levels.
