‘Congress is attacked because…’: Rahul Gandhi at Chintan Shivir in Udaipur

Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the Congress is attacked because it “allows conversations inside the party”. The Congress leader was speaking at a Chintan Shivir of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) in Udaipur. He also accepted that the Congress has lost its connections with the common man and it has to fix this by reaching out to the people.

“We have to revive our connection with people and need to accept that it was broken down. We will strengthen it, this will not happen with any short-cut, it requires hard work,” Gandhi said.

Attacking the Centre, Gandhi said, “Pegasus is not a software, it is a way to silence the political class of the country, a way to strangle political conversation.”

Congress leadership conducted the final round of deliberations to usher organisational reforms and articulate the party’s position on key issues and challenges confronting it and the country at a meeting of the CWC.

After the two-day long deliberations on organisational, political, economic, agricultural, social justice and youth-related issues, the dedicated panels formed for the purpose submitted their reports to the Congress president which will be given to the CWC for their final approval.

“Which other political party in this country would allow this type of conversation? Certainly, the BJP, and RSS would never allow such a thing. India is a union of states, people of India come together to form the union,” Gandhi said at the event.
