PM Modi failed to match words with deeds: Sonia Gandhi
Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday said that the Modi government has "failed abysmally to match its words with deeds." Hitting out at PM Modi, Sonia said that it is "painfully clear that most pledges made by the PM during election campaign were nothing more than 'hawa baazi'." "The Prime Minister has been reduced to unedifying flip-flops creating confusion on what he really stands for," Sonia Gandhi said while addressing a meeting of the Congress working committee in Delhi.

She also lashed out at BJP for its three-day BJP-RSS meet last week. "The country last week was given clear evidence of what is obvious for a long time. Modi Government is controlled and directed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh." The CWC, which is the Congress's highest decision-making body, is discussing the present political situation in the country. The term of Sonia Gandhi, who has been at the helm for 17 years, will end in December and the party is likely to hold organizational elections next year.

Rahul Gandhi was elevated as vice-president in January 2013 and has
