The interim president of Congress Sonia Gandhi today presided upon the the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meet to talk about the drubbing that the party faced in the current polls. She stated that the introspection could yield uncomfortable lessons but it is required to draw a appropriate lesson. “We need to candidly understand why in Kerala and Assam we failed to dislodge incumbent governments and why in West Bengal we drew a complete blank. These will yield uncomfortable lessons, but if we don’t face up to reality, if we do not look facts in the face, we won’t draw the right lessons,” stated Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi stated that she will be setting up a compact group to look at just about every aspect of the party’s failure in the polls. “While all of us are preoccupied with COVID-19, this meet has been convened to discuss poll results. To say we’re deeply disappointed is to make an understatement. I intend to set up a small group to look at every aspect and report back very quickly,” stated Sonia Gandhi.
She also stated that a schedule for electing the party’s new president is prepared and the approach will be completed by June finish. “When we met on Jan 22nd, we’d decided that process for electing Congress President would be completed by end-June. Election authority chairperson Madhusudan Mistri has prepared a schedule for it,” she stated.
Sonia Gandhi also hit out at the Modi government more than its vaccine policy. She stated that the Modi government has abdicated its duty and left vaccination to states. “It would have been financially more equitable for the Centre to provide free vaccine to all,” she stated.
Sonia Gandhi stated that the COVID-19 predicament has grow to be even more catastrophic in the previous 4 weeks. “Governance failures have become even starker. Scientific advice has been willfully ignored and the country is paying a horrendous price for Modi government’s neglect of the pandemic,” she added.
She thanked the international neighborhood for assisting India. “That we should be placed in such position reflects monumental arrogance, incompetence and vain triumphalism of ruling establishment,” she stated hitting out at the Modi government.
