'I Am Full-Time President': Sonia Gandhi To 'G-23' At Key Congress Meet

Sonia Gandhi on Saturday underlined her position as a "full-time and hands-on Congress President" as she hit back at critics within the party - such as the 'G-23' - who have been pushing, for over a year now, for an organisational overhaul and the election of "visible and effective leadership".

3) Gandhi No. 3
4) All of the above
5) God save India

[rajibdeka]

Very good...I support this decision. Family is the number one priority, not country. Well done Congress🙏🙏

[parvadhami]

But who would Succeed Sonia?
Rahul, Priyanka or Damaadji?

[javeedather]

Yes agreed, G23 should not talk to Soniaji thru media

[பெரியோர்மண்]

No election. Dictatorship declaration .
But welcome step for a healthy democracy so that Congress ( l) alliance can pose a strong and tough opposition for many many terms to come.

[nikenell]

Sonia Gandhi : All are requested to come, for election of President of INC .
President: The president is Sonia Gandhi.
This is the another Scam.

[vv-szyh]

Dont forget that she is responsible for 2004 congress victory where she throwed the bjp from govt

[sensiblehandle]

Sonia gandhi will be Full time president just like Mahtama gandhi full time father of nation

[piyushmisra]

Democracy sidelined political corporation continues ..

[Commutinyyyy]

Here too they might go for a bootlicker instead of a deserving one as they did in the case of Chhattisgarh CM seat.

[LakhbirSingh-vdsp]

It is ridiculous that elections for president of the party have been postponed late next year. Why not within a month?. It is clear that Gandhis and Vadra do not want to move out.

[DeepakSingh-ztqg]

Gangajal "e to sala hona hi tha"

A full time president as she told, how many places she went and canvassing for congrees candidates. She could not able to win even single seat in her own constituency even though Priyanka Gandhi good effort leave out other state. It is a well know that she a sick and she could not go and canvass how long she will be a Interim president without doing anything. Because her the of wrong decisions the congrees lost Panjab or otherwise a possible win in Panjab, the congrees lost it because of their idiot move by appoing a person who have no stable mind by a long time congrees man Amirnthar
Singh and inspite of best efforts by Prinyank Gandhi in UP the percentage of votes reduced from 12 to 2 percent.
The Goa in charge P Chidambaram made a mistake not going with an alliance with TMC and Shivasena the congree lost as we expect a win Goa. The Congrees P Chimambaram made a mistake also in AP by birfurgating Andhra in to two and when YSR Reddy was this Chandrasekhar rao was kept mum and the Congrees lost both in Telengana and Andhra Presdesh. If YSR Jaggan Reddy was appointed as CM the undivided AP would have given more seats in AP. Now TCR deserted his promises and Jagan captured AP where all most all know mass supported leaders were joined either TCR and YSRParty
Chidambaram is also soft men that is why he has not taken any strong action against BJP murderers as as BJP now doing all atrocities he see himself. If he would have or then HM to take hard decision the BJP will not lead the country. If he stand alon in his own District Karaikudi he would not have won as he has no mass based people because of his weathiness c ommon people wouldn't understand his economy and finance position. There is no use in lecturing sitting in Delhi.. they are stooge of DMK and giving bad advice to high command. Atleast in the recently concluded Corporation Munucipal elections, the Congrees should have stand also so that the congrees can analyze their strength. But the local leaders have no guts to go in alone as they interested to minority commission post, and to develop DMK instead of congrees. Due to this congrees does not know their own strength and begging for few seats from both the currupt dravidian parts. One way Raghul Gandhi was also responsible to make TN become a dummy like his grand mother Indra Gandhi
It is better the congrees should elect full time president either Raghul Gandhi or some one I fluencial mass support bass man. But other than Ragul Gandhi elected the Gandhis family should not interfere or un constitutional taking decision to avoid another split in the party if that happy the Modi men might have happy that his ambitious wishes of wiping out congrees in India. What is the problem for Gandhis and his loyalties against the G 23 groups as they are all congrees me most of are MPs in advises in interest of Congrees

[MrReon]

After 2014 general election defeat:

Sonia Gandhi : I’m sorry for the defeat hence I’m resigning.. Make pappu Gandhi president of the party.


After 2019 General election:

Pappu Gandhi: I’m sorry for the defeat hence make my mommy Sonia Gee president of the party


2022 again 2 years before 2024 General election:

Sonia Gandhi: Pappu Gandhi is stronger than Modi Gee hence make Pappu as president of the party.


Meanwhile Modi Ji to Gandhi family: Thank you for your continuous support, effort and humility, 😜thus I want your support to continue till 2029. NaMo🙏🏻

Gandhi dynasty supporter: Pappu ka din ayega.. ek din ayega..Pappu Mera Pappu..🥴

[kumaravelmuthusamy]

Yes she has to leave . Nothing achived under her leadership. Shame for congress

[murtadah]

CWC meeting didn't give any handle to the BJP to beat Congress with. BJP people must be scratching their bald heads and other parts in disappointment.

[gracekatam]

Only cowards talk through media.The brave will come face to face to talk.

[anirudh]

Even Congress people don't know who is party president 🤣🤣

[abhig]

As expected! The grand old party is seeing its last days.
How hunger for power are you Mrs Gandhi? Why don't you just leave the party with your incompetent children who are completely unfit for politics!

[unainsider]

I never thought there was a part time role aswell
