"We must fight diabolical campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideologically", said Congress's Sonia Gandhi in her opening remarks during the meeting of General Secretaries, State in-charges and Pradesh Congress Committee Presidents today. She further blatantly also said that the Congress must do things to 'expose' the Sangh and the BJP with pure conviction to win the battle.
She added- "We must train our workers to take on the unceasing onslaught of malicious disinformation campaigns at the behest of the BJP/RSS. And we must train our people to fight it while upholding and projecting the core Congress ideology. Our own history bears witness to the fact that if an organisation is to succeed against injustice and inequality, if it is to effectively champion the rights of the marginalised, it must become a widespread agitation down to the grassroots".
Gandhi meanwhile also opined that Modi Government has sought to erode some institutions for it may evade accountability. "It has sought to undermine the core values of our Constitution so it can hold itself to a lower standard. It has questioned the very fundamentals of our democracy".
"We must redouble our fight for those who are the victims of this government’s worst excesses: our farmers and farm labourers, our youth fighting for jobs and opportunities, small and medium scale businesses, our brothers, our sisters with particular focus on the deprived", she noted flagrantly.
Five states are going to election in the coming months. As frontal organisations like Indian Youth Congress, NSUI, Mahila Congress and the party's Social Media department have passed a resolution to make Rahul Gandhi as party president, it is expected chorus will be heard in the meeting on Tuesday.
In the previously held CWC meet, the chief ministers of Rajasthan, Punjab and Chhattisgarh Ashok Gehlot, Charanjit Singh Channi and Bhupesh Baghel, respectively, and other leaders had requested Rahul Gandhi to take charge of the party president post. On this, Congress Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala confirmed that Gandhi had assured to consider their requests.
