Govt. scuttling winter session, says Sonia Gandhi

NOVEMBER 20, 2017 22:31 IST

The government has taken the extraordinary step of not holding a winter session on schedule to avoid questions and answers ahead of Gujarat elections, she said.

Ms Gandhi also attacked demonetisation and the implemenation of the GST regime, charging that the government’s policies had brought hardship to people.

She added: “The Modi government is also forcefully trying to change the history of modern India by systematically erasing the contributions made by Pandit Nehruji and Indira Gandhi — be it through rewriting school text books, through malicious misinformation and propaganda, or ignoring with disdain the importance of the birth centenary of Indiraji. This vilification is blatant and for all to see.”

Sources said that while Ms. Gandhi praised party vice president Rahul Gandhi for the effort being made in Gujarat, he in turn told party members that there was a need to put all efforts into the campaign for the crucial polls.
