Expose the hollow claims of opposition-run state governments, Sonia Gandhi tells Congress MPs

Congress President Sonia Gandhi while addressing a CPP meeting in New Delhi asked the Congress MPs to learn lessons from the results of the recent polls and told them to shed factional behaviour and fight as one disciplined unit as the Congress is going to face series of polls in various states in the coming months.

Sonia Gandhi also asked Congress MPs to project the works of the Congress led government at the Centre and expose the hollow claims of opposition-rule state governments. The Congress President also reminded that the misrule and corruption have been widespread in some of the opposition ruled states, as revealed by CAG and Lokayukta reports. Sonia Gandhi wanted the Congress leaders to highlight the failures of the opposition-ruled governments.

"I would like to reiterate here we are fully committed to strengthening federalism, which is a key tenet of our party's and the UPA's agenda. What better evidence of this can there be than the unprecedented transfers of financial assistance from the Centre to the states these past eight years," Sonia Gandhi said.

Appreciating the UPA government's achievements, Sonia Gandhi said, "It seems to have become almost fashionable these days to criticise the government. We must speak forcefully and with confidence on what we have achieved and there is much we have to show despite difficult economic times.
