New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi broke her silence in an interview to a private TV channel and said there was no comparison between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the late Indira Gandhi, rejecting suggestions that her party lacked leaders to take him on.
She added she wasn’t “troubled” by comparisons between Mr Modi and Indira Gandhi.
Asked if she was troubled by the fact that Mr Modi was compared with the late PM as a strong personality, Mrs Gandhi said: “It doesn’t trouble me as I don’t believe in it. I have my own clear views about it. There is no comparison. Absolutely not.”
“Every era in politics or history has its own problems, its own leaders and its own opposition. I think Congress is taking on the present dispensation,” she said.
She said Indira Gandhi was ridiculed from within even more than outside when she entered politics.
