The Congress may be veering towards Priyanka Gandhi becoming the new party President to end the current impasse, but there are no signs of leadership crisis ending anytime soon with Rahul Gandhi leaving for the United States.

Priyanka Gandhi's name has come up after the old guard failed to convince Sonia Gandhi to take over, said sources. Priyanka is now the first choice of the old guard despite the fact that Rahul is adamant about not having the new President from the Gandhi family. Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sachin Pilot are the most likely choices for the top post outside the family.
