"We must accept that people are getting disillusioned with the political process. We must introspect why they should vote for the party," Sonia Gandhi told the All India Congress Committee session on the final day of the 'Chintan Shivir' (brainstorming meet) here.
"Our answers should be clear and we have to explain it to people with simplicity and confidence," she said.
Sonia Gandhi also urged party workers to oppose those who levelled false allegations on politicians, parties and institutions.
The Congress chief also suggested a rethink on electoral reforms, especially political funding, saying she would set up a group in the party to examine the issue and suggest an action plan.
