New Delhi: UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi lashed out at the Narendra Modi government at Sunday’s extended CWC meeting, cautioning people about the “reign of despair and fear” heaped upon India’s deprived and poor.
Attacking the government, Mrs Gandhi said that it was incumbent on the Congress to save the people from a “dangerous regime”.
She said: “We have to rescue our people from a dangerous regime that is compromising with the democracy of India.”
“We are committed to making alliances work and are all with Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in this endeavour,” she said.
On the forging of alliances, Mrs Gandhi said: “We are committed to make alliances work and we are all with Congress president Rahul Gandhi in this endeavour.”
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala quoting Sonia Gandhi said: “The entire country is watching how the prime minister is lowering the dignity of the chair he holds, and how his desperation displays that the countdown of the Modi government has started, and that the prime minister is unable to see the truth.”
This was the first meeting of the CWC after Mr Rahul Gandhi’s elevation as party president in December 2017. Earlier this week, the Congress president reconstituted the CWC with 51 members.
