Even though young Congress leader Sachin Pilot was tight-lipped on whether party Vice President Rahul Gandhi will be elevated to the post of President, he confirmed that it would happen only after reaching a consensus.

"When Rahul Gandhi is elevated it will happen through consensus. Whatever will be done will not be a wishlist of one or two or four leaders. There will be an unanimity and the choice of the Congress party and workers and that will happen when the time is right. Not only me, Rahul Gandhi, all of us have the most sincere regards for people who have put in 30-40 years of their life devoting to the Congress party. And it wil be in our interest, all of us in the Congress party, to use that wisdom and experience to take us forward. There has to be a balance between age, experience, people who have done 30-40 years of work and the younger generation. There is a demographic reality in this country today and I think that the Congress party is best suited to represent and reflect that demographic reality," Pilot said.

Earlier, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh also confirmed that there will be changes in the party with Rahul's return from nearly a two-month long sabbatical to a mysterious place. Singh said, "Changes in Congress organisation on the cards. You will see the changes Rahul wants to bring about soon."

There were rumours that Rahul would be elevated to the party's president post in the All India Congress Committee session which also witnessed dissent within the party. The leadership is also divided over who will lead the party as a section of leaders want Congress President Sonia Gandhi to continue while others want Rahul to take the charge.

Rahul took the centrestage and spearheaded the party's fight against Land Acquisition Amendment Bill by first addressing the Kisan rally and then taking on the Modi government in Lok Sabha.

Stressing on the rally, Pilot said, "I think that the rally on Sunday was just the beginning of a long drawn exercise that we have undertaken to ensure that the people's voices, the farmer's voices is not supressed. We are going to make sure that as a responsible opposition we make the government accountable. What the government did was it didn't come to Parliament, it issued an Ordinance. And once the Ordinance was issued, they said let's have a discussion. What is the point of discussing?"

Rahul had spearheaded an agitation in 2011 from Bhatta Parsaul in Uttar Pradesh against forcible land acquisition of farmers that had culminated into enactment of Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
