May 06, 2015 08:36

After Rahul Gandhi's recent attack on the government over farmers issues, Congress President Sonia Gandhi is expected to take on the Modi government in Parliament today on the matter.

Party sources said that Gandhi, who is also the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, could give notice for an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha today to discuss the "failure of institutional mechanism" in the country.

The issue is expected to be raised in the wake of key posts in key institutions lying vacant since Narendra Modi became prime minister almost a year ago.

An indication to this effect was available after a meeting the Congress chief had with the party members from the Lok Sabha.

Gandhi will be addressing the general body meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Party today.
