Congress President Sonia Gandhi while delivering her opening
address at Congress’ chintan shivir at Jaipur sent out a strong message to
party leaders asking them to understand the new emerging India, which is
younger and less tolerant of the corruption it faces daily.
The ruling party hopes to emerge from the two-day-long
session armed with strategy on, among other things, how to reconnect with an
angry urban middle class.
Sonia Gandhi pointed out that the Congress party was the
only pan Indian party which existed in every village and city of the country.
“We are the only Pan Indian party and we appeal to all sections of society from
Dalits to Adivasi’s” she said. She added that for the Congress inclusiveness
was not a political ploy to win elections.
“We are the only party who believes that development and
economic growth on the one hand and social harmony and social justice on the
other are two sides of the same coin.”
Sonia Gandhi also stressed for maintaining the unity within
the party especially where the party is not in power. She also urged the cadres
to speak out freely and frankly as this session would decide the future of the
Congress.
