Congress Leader Sonia Gandhi Slams BJP At Plenary Session For Targeting Minorities, Dalits, Tribal ,Women & Fuelling Fire Of Hatred

Sonia Gandhi ends her tenure as Congress chief with “Bharat Jodo Yatra”

The former Congress chief, Sonia Gandhi, launched a sharp attack on the ruling BJP government, accusing them of promoting hatred and targeting minorities, women, Dalits, and tribals. She made these comments during the 85th plenary session of the Congress party, which was held in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Gandhi urged Congress workers to take on the current regime with vigor and reach out to people to convey the party’s message.

Gandhi also alleged that the government has caused economic ruin by favoring a particular businessman, Gautam Adani. Though she didn’t name Prime Minister Narendra Modi, her comments were seen as a veiled attack on him, as Modi has been accused of being close to Adani and favoring his business interests.

Sonia Gandhi emphasized that the Congress party is not just a political party, but represents the voices of people of all religions, castes, and genders. She asserted that the party will fulfill the dreams of all of them. Gandhi urged Congress workers to be prepared to set aside their personal ambitions for the greater good of the country.

She also noted that this is a particularly challenging time for the Congress and the country. She alleged that the BJP has captured every institution and is fueling the fire of hatred and targeting minorities, women, Dalits, and tribals. She said that the government’s actions show contempt for the values enshrined in the Constitution.

Gandhi ended her speech by saying that she is happy that her innings as the president of the Congress party ended with the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” and urged Congress workers to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls under the leadership of party president Mallikarjun Kharge.

Overall, Sonia Gandhi’s speech was seen as a strong attack on the BJP government, highlighting the Congress party’s commitment to pluralism, secularism, and democracy. Her words were meant to energize Congress workers and to send a message to the people of India that the Congress party is a credible alternative to the current regime.
