TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ She alleged that freedom of the people was “under systematic and sustained assault” and there was a long-in-the-making project to refashion the very idea of India.
Delivering the keynote address at the India Today Conclave 2018 in Mumbai, the former Congress President said all this was being done by attempts to rewrite history, “falsifying facts and slandering nation builders and fanning prejudice and bigotry”.
Answering a question about the possibility of the BJP and the NDA coming back to power in 2019, Mrs Gandhi shot back: “No we are going to come back. We are not going to let them come back.”
To another query about bitterly-opposed parties coming together to take on the BJP which is seen as a colossus and unbeatable singly by anyone, she said “it is a difficult task. If all of us think of the larger picture, if we really think and care for the country, then we should sink local differences which really deal with state politics”.
On her dinner invitation to opposition leaders next week, she said: “We try to have regular meetings with like-minded parties to see if we can work together. We have worked together in the past. In Parliament, specially in the Rajya Sabha, there is a certain amount of coordination. Yes, I do that.”
