Sonia Gandhi

Congress says unanimity does not prove the rules were followed and Rahul Gandhi is urging supporters to join a Save the Vote rally at Delhi's Ramlela Maidan on November 1st.

Separately, Sonia Gandhi says there is bound to be some tamasha when her memoir, Belonging, comes out on November 10.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear fresh challenges to the law, requiring all six stanzas of Vande Mataram to be sung, and has set a hearing for November 30.

Indian stocks ended almost flat in a volatile session weighed by crude oil near $116 a barrel and caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's decision.

Rajiv Gandhi was murdered.

Sonia Gandhi was murdered.

By the way, Mahatma Gandhi is not actually related to them, by the way, just to clear that up.

I'm reading a really interesting book by Shashi Tharoor where he says, I wonder if their political success

They also went after political targets, right?

Yes.

They vandalized the Adibane Kebang office, and they actually ransacked the private homes of politicians, including the state BJP president Kaling Moyoung and MLA Ninong Ehring.

That is intensely personal.

How did the state respond?

But Rahul Gandhi is a son of Indira Gandhi, who was a former prime minister of India.

Indira Gandhi's, sorry, Rahul Gandhi is a son of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.

Sonia Gandhi was an Italian prostitute who married Rajiv Gandhi.

Okay.

Or a escort.

So what does Rahul Gandhi get right? Let me begin with a point that isn't often acknowledged.

Rahul Gandhi along with Malik Arjun Khargay and Sonia Gandhi have managed to keep the Congress more or less united.

Now people may point towards the large number of leaders who have left the Congress in the past 10 years.

The Jyotiraditya Sindhyas, Naveen Jindas, Milind Devaraj to name a few.

Second point, ideology.

Rahul Gandhi has been remarkably consistent in his ideological beliefs, especially when it comes to secularism, gender equality and opposition to cronyism.

On secularism, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Dr Manmohan Singh and Malik Arjun Kharge have been far closer to the Congress's Nehruvian roots than Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Narsimha Rao, all of whom dabbled with majoritarian politics.

The gender part is also interesting.

Regional parties ko weaken karo, it will be us versus BJP.

But that me- that meeting that happened with Sonia Gandhi, with Mamata sitting there and Sonia Gandhi patting her back-

But you know, why did Akhilesh not come?

Yes, but if you look at what KTR said on the Hindu mind-

Absolutely.

I mean, alliance or whatever it was at that stage.

But- She swallowed that humiliation and came on stage with Sonia Gandhi sitting next to her and Sonia Gandhi patting her on the back.

Absolutely.

Gandhi told those gathered that accountability for those he holds responsible was drawing closer.

The afternoon session included Sonia Gandhi, attending as Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson, Congress President Malikarjun Kage, Party MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, General Secretary KC Venugopal and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav.

Parliamentary members from opposition benches and representatives of student bodies also attended.

The talks took place as opposition parties continued pressing their claim that votes had been manipulated, directing complaints at both the BJP-led administration and the Election Commission.

Arrogance never helps politics.

You see, Mamata Banerjee had a fantastic relationship with Sonia Gandhi.

She always had a very good relationship with Sonia Gandhi.

She had a problem with Rahul Gandhi.

And a lot of us, whenever we attended press conference where there was a, you know India alliance time, Mumbai also there was a press conference.
