Sonia slams Centre, says India crippled by political leadership with no empathy for people ANI | Updated: May 07, 2021 19:37 IST New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Friday alleged that the BJP-led government has "failed the people of country", and "abdicated its fundamental responsibilities and duties towards the people" in the COVID-19 crisis and demanded that it should urgently call an all-party meeting to discuss the pandemic situation. Addressing the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) meeting here, she attacked the government saying "India is crippled by a political leadership today that has no empathy for the people". Gandhi said "fighting COVID is not a 'government versus us' battle but 'us versus corona' battle" which "transcends political differences" and "we have to fight this battle together as a nation".
