NEW DELHI: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi called on President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday, in his first formal meeting after taking over the reins of his party.

"I had a wonderful meeting with President Kovind at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today," Gandhi tweeted.

Congress leaders termed it as a courtesy call.

In December last year, Rahul Gandhi formally took charge as the president of the Congress party replacing his mother, Sonia Gandhi, who was in office for a record 19 years.
