Bluff, bluster, intimidation: Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi: Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said that “bluff, bluster and intimidation” have been the philosophy of governance of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government.

“Truth and transparency have been brazenly tossed aside,” she said. Sonia Gandhi claimed that the last five years have been a time of unprecedented economic stress and social strain for the country.

“The very foundations of our democratic republic, of our secular republic have come under systematic assault by the Modi government. The very values, principles and provisions of our Constitution have come under continued attack by the Modi government.”

Addressing the Parliamentary Party’s general body meeting, the UPA chairperson also blamed the Modi government for “subverting institutions, hounding political suppressed dissent”.
