Congress presidential election is expected to take place in May this year.
NEW DELHI: Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Friday (January 22) trained her guns at the Narendra Modi-led central government, accusing it of displaying shocking insensitivity and arrogance going through the charade of consultations. She further attacked the Centre for its handling of COVID-19 pandemic and thereby pushing millions into poverty.
Addressing a crucial meeting of the Congress Working Committee, Sonia alleged that it was now abundantly clear that the three farm laws were prepared in haste and Parliament was consciously denied an opportunity to examine in any meaningful detail their implications and impacts. She stated that Congress position on the issue has been clear from the very beginning and the party had rejected the farm laws knowing well that they will destroy the foundations of food security
