'Congress is sinking, bring back Rahul Gandhi'

Around 200 MPs back Cong leader Pratap Singh Bajwa in his demand

GN Bureau | March 27, 2012



The Congress Party is sinking. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should make way for Rahul Gandhi, says Congress MP from Gurudaspur, Sardar Partap Singh Bajwa.

"This is stunning. How can the Indian army chief speak like this? Is there a government in this country? Why the man who dared to offer bribe to the Indian army chief is not yet arrested? Congress party must do something in New Delhi and bring in Rahul Gandhi. Bajwa claims that he had spoken to more than
180-200 MPs who also want Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister.

The young leadership would at least be able to take the decision. I have no doubt that it will help the country and the party. This government is sinking. It will drown the Congress party too if right step is not taken," says Sardar Partap Singh Bajwa, Congress party's Member of Parliament from Gurudaspur.

Pratap Singh Bajwa further says, "Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should make way for Rahul Gandhi because if we don't pull up our socks now then I am not sure what will happen two years down the line."

In Arunachal Pradesh, the Siang is not just a river. For many of us, especially the Adi people, it is part of our family. Our grandparents fished in it. Children learned to swim in it. Our farms drink from it. When someone says a huge dam will be built on it, we do not hear the word "project".
