New Delhi: A day after Rahul Gandhi announced his resignation as the Congress President, his sister and the party's general secretary (UP East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday backed his decision, saying 'few have the courage' that he has.

Taking to Twitter, Priyanka wrote, "Few have the courage that you do @rahulgandhi. Deepest respect for your decision."

Earlier on July 3, Rahul Gandhi publicly announced his resignation as Congress president, taking responsibility for the Lok Sabha polls debacle, and called for 'hard decisions' to rebuild the party and making people accountable for the 'failure' of 2019.

In a four-page open letter, Gandhi also urged the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to entrust a group of people with the task of finding a new president as it would not be proper for him to do so.

The 49-year-old leader --who has been adamant on his decision to quit as party president since May 25, two days after the results in which his party won 52 seats -- also stressed on the need for the Congress to 'radically transform itself'.

In a letter that was emotive in places and combative in others, he said he owed the country and his party a debt of tremendous gratitude and love, but maintained that at times he stood 'completely alone' in his fight against the Prime Minister and the RSS.
