Hinted at her retirement, former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Saturday said that with the conclusion of Bharat Jodo Yatra, which was a turning point for Congress, she may be ready to hang up her boots.
"Our victories in 2004 and 2009 along with the able leadership of Dr Manmohan Singh gave me personal satisfaction but what gratifies me most is that my innings could conclude with the Bharat Jodo Yatra, a turning point for Congress," Congress MP and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi said in Raipur while addressing party's plenary session.
Sonia Gandhi launched an all-out attack on the BJP government. She urged the Congress workers to tackle the current regime with vigour and reach out to people to convey the party's message. Gandhi accused the government of causing economic ruin by favouring a particular businessman, making a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a controversy involving the business empire of industrialist Gautam Adani.
She said in this crucial time, every Congress worker bears a special responsibility towards the party and the country. Gandhi said the Congress is not just a political party but it reflects the voices of people of all religions, castes and genders. She asserted that the party will fulfil the dreams of all of them. "This is a particularly challenging time for the Congress and the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have captured every institution. The BJP is fuelling the fire of hatred and viciously targeting minorities, women, Dalits and tribals," she alleged.
