Congress Working Committee to discuss disappointing and unexpected poll result, says party president
It is not the “system” but the Narendra Modi government that had failed the people of India, Congress president Sonia Gandhi told a virtual meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) on Friday. She asserted that the government should convene an all-party meeting on the COVID-19 situation.
The Congress chief said the battle against the virus transcended political differences and the Congress party firmly believed that “fighting Covid is not a ‘Government versus Us’ battle but an ‘Us versus Corona’ battle”.
“Let us be absolutely clear the system hasn’t failed. The Modi government has been unable to constructively channelise India’s many strengths and resources. I say this categorically India is crippled by a political leadership today that has no empathy for the people. The Modi government has failed the people of our country.Tackling this crisis
