Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while kicking off Congress’ Chintan Shivir which began in Jaipur sent a warning that there should not be any compromise on maintaining the unity among Congress workers. "Inroads have been made into our traditional support base (and) there are some states where we have been out of office for too long," said Sonia Gandhi.
This meeting will "enable us to introspect, look ahead, to look at our strengths and weaknesses", said the Congress President.
Sonia Gandhi said the meeting was taking place when Congress faces "serious challenges in states long considered" party strong holds.She conceded that some of the state welfare programmes espoused by the party had failed to reap the expected benefits. "The government under Manmohan Singh's leaderhip has enacted truly revolutionary programmes and historic legislations from our manifesto, but in some states we have not been able to translate this into political support," said Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi urged the party workers to discuss all the issues pertaining to the party freely and frankly and said that this session would decide the future of the party. The Congress President also talked about India’s foreign policy, atrocities and against women, the issues related to the new generation and the organizational matters.
