'Rahul has Brought Fresh Energy in the Party' : Sonia Gandhi

Congress Leader, Sonia Gandhi said that Rahul Gandhi, her son, had brought 'fresh energy'in the side by working very hard as Congress Secretary.

"We go to the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls with renewed confidence and resolve. Our victories in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have given us new hope," she said at the Congress Parliamentary Party's general body meeting. The meeting was attended by many congress members including Rahul Gandhi, Former PM Manmohan Singh senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Ghulam Nabi Azad.

"Our opponents were earlier projected as being invincible. The Congress president took them head-on, mobilizing and motivating lakhs of our workers who, with him, gave their all," she said.
He has worked tirelessly. He has also reached out to other political parties who share our vision of India," Ms. Gandhi added.

She attacked Modi Government by saying "bluff, bluster and intimidation" had been its governance philosophy and transparency had been brazenly tossed aside.
"The very foundations of our democratic republic, of our secular republic, have come under systematic assault by the Modi government," the 72-year-old leader said.

"Institutions have been subverted. Political opponents have been hounded. Dissent has been suppressed. Freedom of speech - the most basic of all freedoms - has been sought to be curtailed and silenced," Ms. Gandhi added.
