"Over the years, Gandhi has emerged as an effective and strong leader, with a lot of political maturity and a deep connect with the people. What else do you need in a good leader?" he said here in an interview. Asked how he viewed Gandhi's elevation as the party chief, Singh said it would boost the Congress's fortunes.
