Rahul needs to be more active: Digvijaya

New Delhi, Apr 14 (IBNS): As Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi is likely to return from his two-month long sabbatical on Wednesday, party senior leader Digvijaya Singh said he needs to be more active and that politics cannot be taken as a part time job.

This comes after the Congress party lost hugely in the Lok Sabha election.

Speaking on the loss, Singh told CNN-IBN: "We lost the war of perception. Rahul didn't project himself the way Narendra Modi did. Rahul should have been more aggressive in Lok Sabha elections. He must speak everyday on the issues and speak to the media."

"Rahul now has to come out very strongly and go through the length and breadth of the country and connect with people on all big issues. Nothing is holding him back but he was probably not ready earlier or he didn't want to upstage the PM (former prime minister Manmohan Singh) but now I think the time has come to convey a message that he is leading from the front," he added.

The Congress party has confirmed that Rahul will be leading a Kisan rally against the Land Acquisition Bill on April 16.
