Sonia Gandhi needed at helm in Congress more than ever: Sandeep Dikshit
New Delhi: Amid talk that Rahul Gandhi could soon become Congress president, party spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit on Sunday said Sonia Gandhi is the “leader” for “99 per cent of” partymen and she is needed at the helm at this time more than ever in the past.
“For 97 to 99 per cent of Congressmen, their leader is Sonia Gandhi and there is no doubt about this fact,” he said in an interview.
Making it clear that he was speaking in his personal capacity, Dikshit insisted that “I am not against anybody. We need Sonia Gandhi as our leader”.
“For 97 to 99 per cent of Congressmen, their leader is Sonia Gandhi and there is no doubt about this fact,” he said in an interview.
The refrain of Dikshit, a two-time MP and the son of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, was that “Sonia Gandhi can transfer presidentship of the party to anyone, bequeath the presidentship to anyone she wants, but she cannot bequeath her leadership to anybody she wants”.
Dikshit said “when opposition needs a coalition of forces, she is the most credible leader”. The Congress chief had recently lead a march of opposition leaders to the Rashtrapati Bhawan on the land bill issue.
Besides, Dikshit said that no one doubted her secular and left of the centre credentials.
