Rahul gets bigger party role

Signaling his much-speculated bigger role in the party, Rahul Gandhi, the scion of Nehru-Gandhi family, was yesterday named the head of India's ruling Congress' coordination committee for next parliamentary elections due in the year 2014.
The fact that Rahul Gandhi will head the coordination committee points to his growing profile he will have on Congress as it readies for 2014 elections in which the party seeks a third consecutive five-year term in power.
