Congress president Sonia Gandhi today tore into the Narendra Modi government for its "arrogance", for "locking the temple of democracy" and for "destroying the future of the poor", reported ANI. Mrs. Gandhi was referring to the delay in the Winter Session of Parliament. The Congress has said the Centre was using the upcoming state Assembly polls in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh as an excuse to avoid facing Parliament.
"The Modi government in its arrogance has cast a dark shadow on India's Parliamentary democracy by sabotaging the Winter Session on flimsy grounds. It's mistaken if it thinks by locking the temple of democracy, it'll escape constitutional accountability ahead of elections," said Sonia at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee she chaired at her residence today.
