Sonia targets Modi, slams NDA govt's 'dictatorial' tendencies

January 13, 2015 18:51

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi today launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and charged that the NDA government has "dictatorial" tendencies even as her party's leaders met here to draw up a strategy for painting the ruling alliance as being "anti farmer".

In her opening remarks at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee, the party's apex decision-making body, Sonia accused the prime minister of "ignoring provocative statements and speeches" by members of his Cabinet as well as BJP leaders and alleged that it was a continuation of the "strategy of polarisation" adopted during Lok Sabha polls.

With the party facing a depleting support base ever since its debacle in the general elections last year, Sonia asked senior leaders to "propose ways and means to reach out to the masses" at the meeting which was held to deliberate on plans for holding nationwide agitations against the land ordinance and other farmer issues.
