NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. Rahul Gandhi was formally elevated to the number two position in the Congress party after being appointed its Vice President, but his role in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls would be decided later. Jagdambika Pal spoke to NewsX and mentioned that since Rahul Gandhi has been given this responsibility he will keep his hand over youth. So we debate today- Will Rahul's rise rejuvenate a frayed Congress? Can Rahul win the "hope" vote from youth and allies? Is Rahul essential to Congress winning 2014? We debate this on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX debate special show NewsX@9.
