Mandya (Karnataka): Congress president Sonia Gandhi yesterday lashed out BJP for “making fun” of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and asserted that the “whole party stands behind him”.
“They make fun of our party, they make fun of our prime minister,” she told a huge Congress rally here. “The whole party stands behind the prime minister,” Gandhi declared at the rally.
Gandhi said the Bharatiya Janata Party “divides people” while “we bind the people together”. She said the BJP tried to scuttle the “historic” food security bill in parliament by saying it was against farmers. “We are proud of our farmers and farmers will always be the centre of our policies,” she added.
Terming the food security bill, land acquisition bill, RTI and measures to protect interests of women as “historic”, Gandhi said “no other government has achieved what the UPA (United Progressive Alliance government) has been able to in the last ten years”.
