No Gandhi In Congress Formation Day Function
By: Tupaki Desk | 30 Dec 2020 3:39 AM GMT
On December 28, the Congress Party celebrated its 136th foundation day. Normally, it should be a big event. But, this time, the affair was insipid and tame fare. There was no party president in the programme. This perhaps would be the first celebration of the formation day in 70 years where no Gandhi-Nehru family person attended the meet.
Sonia Gandhi, who is ailing, avoided the meeting. Priyanka Vadra was busy with something else and Rahul Gandhi did the vanishing act by going off to Milan in Italy on a mysterious tour. The party is also smarting under the twin tragedy of losing trusted leaders Ahmed Patel and Motilal Vora. Both died recently. Amid this all pervading gloom, the party celebrated its 136th foundation day.
It was left to octogenarian AK Antony to unfurl the party flag. He and some other old-age leaders were present at the Congress foundation day indicating the falling stock of the party these days.
