Parliamentary majority interpreted as licence to stifle debate, says Sonia Gandhi at India Today Conclave 2018

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi launched an all out attack on the Narendra Modi government at India Today Conclave 2018 today in Mumbai. She said that the Modi government has failed to fulfill the promises made during the election campaign in the run up to 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Days ahead of her meeting with several Opposition leaders, Sonia Gandhi said that it was a difficult task for many Opposition parties to come together at the national level as these are rivals on the ground in states but "if we think about the larger picture and we care for the country, we will have to come together."

Sonia Gandhi sounded confident about Congress or Congress-led coalition's return to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. "We are going to come back. We are not going to let them come back to power," Sonia Gandhi said.
