Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi attack PM Modi, Centre at Congress Plenary Session
New Delhi, Mar 17 (IBNS): Giving out a strong message to the ruling BJP, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the latter's promises before 2014 Lok Sabha polls were just 'dramebazi'.
Congress Chairperson Sonia Gandhi even accused the PM of being "drunk on power".
"All the promises he had made before the Lok Sabha polls were simply dramebaazi," Sonia hits out at Modi during her address to the Congress Plenary Session, which began in New Delhi on Saturday.
In his maiden address to the party plenary on Saturday as the President, Rahul accused the ruling party of using "hatred and anger" to divide the nation while the Congress is all for "love."
"The difference between our party and the incumbent ruling party is that they follow the ideology of hatred while we follow the ideology of love and fraternity," Rahul said.
"They (BJP) use anger. We use love but one thing that I want to say is that this country belongs to everyone and whatever Congress will do will be for the benefit for all," Rahul added.
The Congress President also said the BJP's "emphasis on divisive politics" has led its focus away from key issues like unemployment and farmers' distress while the Congress is the only party that can take the country forward, bringing along with it each and every citizen regardless of caste or creed.
"The country is tired, it's looking for a way, and I say from my heart that only the Congress can show India the way. The difference between the Congress and the Opposition (BJP), the big difference, is they use anger, we use love and regard for our fellow humans," he said.
The two-day plenary session, being held ahead of the 2019 general elections, is expected to witness a Congress road map to reverse the trend of its slide in consecutive polls since 2014.
"This plenary's goal is to show the country and the Congress the way. The people of this country, they see Modi and see no way forward. They can't understand where they will get employment from, when farmers will get the right price," he said.
According to reports, the open Session, being attended by the delegates of both the All India Congress Committee (AICC) and Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), will also pitch for formation of a grand alliance against the ruling party for 2019.
The party is expected to adopt two resolutions.
