Congress President Sonia Gandhi's first statement from the Surajkund conclave. Addressing the party, Sonia said, "Those in the government should strive hard to fulfill unfulfilled promises in the 2009 manifesto. Policies mentioned in the manifesto must be fulfilled Our detractors want to grab power at any cost, notwithstanding that their greed would weaken democracy and secular values."

She added that PM Manmohan Singh's leadership has helped the country tide over economic difficulties. "Party and government should have a dialogue and the needs of party and government should be balanced," she said.

The meet attended by top central ministers and Congress Working Committee members will also see the party reviewing the extent of implementation of the promises made in its manifesto for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
