He also shared the resignation letter on his Twitter page.
Rahul, who became the Congress president in 2017, took responsibility for his party's defeat in the Lok Sabha polls and said he would continue to fight the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP once again defeated the Congress to form the central government for the second consecutive term.
Rahul said the Congress Working Committee should elect a new party president.
In a tweet where he shared his resignation letter, Rahul said: "It is an honour for me to serve the Congress Party, whose values and ideals have served as the lifeblood of our beautiful nation. I owe the country and my organisation a debt of tremendous gratitude and love. Jai Hind ."
