New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said it is for Rahul Gandhi to decide for himself on playing a larger role in the party.

Her comments came against the backdrop of comments by senior Congress leaders like Digvijay Singh and Salman Khurshid clamouring for a larger role for Rahul in the party.
