Sonia Gandhi says task tough for Rahul, but Congress won't let BJP win 2019

UPA chairperson and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi attacked the Centre and the Sangh Parivar on Friday and said that her party will not let the BJP come to power in 2019.

Speaking at a media conclave here, she also conceded that finding a balance of young and seniors in the Congress will be a difficult task for her son and party president Rahul Gandhi.

"But he knows his responsibilities. I am there if he needs me. I try not to volunteer. He wants to revitalise the party by bringing in new faces along with senior leaders. He has made it clear that he values seniors' role and contributions in the party," she said.

She accused the BJP government of interpreting parliamentary majority as a licence to stifle debate and bulldoze legislations and using its might to target political opponents through misuse of investigative agencies.
"We were out-marketed in 2014. We could not compete with how Narendra Modi ran his campaign.... We are not going to let BJP/NDA win."
