March 18, New Delhi: Congress senior leader M. Veerappa Moily on Friday slammed G23 leaders saying that the G23 leaders are targeting Sonia Gandhi & weakening the Congress party.
“Sonia Gandhi wants reforms within the Congress party but people around her have sabotaged it. G23 leaders are targeting the senior leader & weakening the Congress party. BJP cannot be a perennial party & it will not stand the turmoil of politics after (PM Narendra) Modi,” the former Karnataka chief minister was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Moreover, Moily further said, “Just because we’re not in power, Congress leaders or workers should not panic. BJP and other parties are transit passengers, they’ll come & go, it’s the Congress that’ll remain here. We should be committed to the downtrodden & need not lose hope.”
The remarks came amid speculation of a meeting between party chief Sonia Gandhi and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. Azad is considered to be a senior member of the G-23 group of dissident leaders.
