Sonia Gandhi hints at retiring from active politics |
Former Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhi hinted at the end of her political innings. In her address to the plenary session of the Congress party, Gandhi said "our victories in 2004 and 2009 along with the able leadership of Dr. Manmohan Singh gave me personal satisfaction, and what gratifies me most is that my innings could conclude with the Bharat Jodo Yatra, a turning point for Congress. Speaking in Raipur of Chhattisgarh state, the chairperson of the Congress-led UPA alliance said “This is a challenging time for Congress and the country as a whole. BJP-RSS has captured and subverted every single institution in the country. It has caused economic ruin by favoring a few businessmen”. Targeting the BJP, Gandhi said "BJP is fuelling ( the) fire of hatred. It viciously targeted minorities, women, Dalits, tribals. We must tackle the BJP regime with vigor, reach out to people and convey our message with clarity”.
