Sonia rallying Opposition parties for another round of attack on Modi

December 25, 2016 20:44

After stitching together a unified Opposition in Parliaments winter session, the Congress is trying to rope in other parties for a show of strength on Tuesday.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi plans a joint press conference to launch another round of attack against the government. She has sent invitations to almost all opposition parties barring the BJD, AIADMK and AIMIM.

We have invited parties like JD(U), RJD, JD(S), NCP, Trinamool, DMK, BSP, SP and the Left. We are expecting a packed house, Congress strategist Jairam Ramesh was quoted by the Hindustan Times as saying.

The meeting of the party leaders, followed by a press conference, assumes significance as this will be the first such event after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi hurled corruption charges at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
