Modi's promises were all 'dramebazi', says Sonia

March 17, 2018 15:39

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi addresses the 84th party plenary session in New Delhi.

Here are the highlights.

- First of all, I congratulate Rahul Gandhi, he took up this responsibility (of party president) at a very challenging time

- The party's victory will be the nation's victory. It will be the victory for each one of us. The Congress is not a political term, it is a movement

- Today only one things matters -- how to strengthen the great party with which we have relations which goes back in time

- 40 years back Indiraji's stunning victory in Chikmagalur turned around Indian politics, once again our party must give a similar performance

- You all know how due circumstances I entered the public sphere but when I realized that the party is weakening, keeping in mind sentiments of Congressmen, I entered the political arena

- Under Manmohan Singh's government economic growth was at its highest. Today, I feel disappointed and sad that the Modi govt is weakening UPA's welfare schemes

- In last four years, this arrogant govt has left no stone unturned to destroy Congress. But Congress has never cowered down and it will never cower down

- PM Modi's promises of combating corruption, ensuring inclusive development were all 'dramebazi', a trick to grab power

- We are exposing fraud and corruption by PM Modi and the people with him, using proof

- It is the beginning of a new chapter, the challenges we are facing are not usual ones. We need to make an India free of corruption and vendetta, under President Rahul Gandhi, let us pledge that we will make all efforts to to do this
