Sonia Gandhi criticizes the PM Modi administration for declaring emergency: The people's decision was enthusiastically embraced, however

Sonia Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his administration on a number of problems, such as ethnic violence and the NEET-UG paper leak.

Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, a member of the Rajya Sabha, attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his administration on a number of issues, citing ethnic violence in Manipur and the NEET-UG paper leak as examples. She said that Modi "preaches the value of consensus but continues to value confrontation."

"The Prime Minister who makes his 'Pariksha pe Charcha' has been conspicuously silence on the leaks that have devastated thousands of households across the country," she wrote in an editorial post for The Hindu, criticizing the PM on the paper leak problem.

The item was posted on X by Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Rajya Sabha and leader of the opposition, who said that "the CPP Chairperson does not have any evidence that the Prime Minister has accepted the outcome of the election or given thought to the message that voters have sent him."

She went on to say that discussing the "Emergency" problem, which was imposed in June 1975 by the government led by the Indira Gandhi Congress, was unnecessary.

It is historical truth that the people of our nation expressed a clear opinion on the Emergency in March 1977, and that opinion was enthusiastically and unquestioningly embraced. That the party that was deposed in March 1977 came back to power less than three years later, with a majority that Modi and his party never managed to secure, is also a significant aspect of that history.

In the first Parliamentary session after the general elections of 2024, the Rajya Sabha MP further censured the Centre for repeated altercations and heated discussions about the deputy speaker position and the NEET problem.

She continues, "The first few days of the 18th Lok Sabha have sadly been far from encouraging," in reference to the deputy speaker's position. The possibility that we might see a shift in mindset has been shattered. The administration, which had not appointed a successor to the constitutionally designated post of Deputy Speaker in the 17th Lok Sabha, deemed this completely legitimate request unacceptable."

"The Prime Minister keeps talking as if nothing has happened. She remarked, "He continues to value confrontation even though he preaches the value of consensus."
