Follow us on INDIA Was Sonia Gandhi able to achieve what she set out to do in her hurriedly convened interaction with Group-23 on December 19 ? December 20, 2020, 9:16 PM IST Lakshmi Iyer is a journalist worked with Mumbai Mirror, who has been covering politics for three decades in Delhi & Mumbai. Over the weekend when Congress President Sonia President convened an hurried interaction with a handpicked group of internal dissenters from Group-23, she had envisaged certain goals. Something that could possibly pave the way for a smooth return of her son Rahul Gandhi at the helm . Was she successful ? No one is sure . Neither the dissenters .Nor those who brokered peace like Kamal Nath and Priyanka Gandhi. Only a few Congressmen are happy that Sonia had opened up her 10 Janpath lawns for interaction after such a long time.
