Sonia criticises Sangh, says only Congress walked the path shown by Bapu

In Lucknow, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the BJP should first pursue the path of truth and then talk about Gandhi.

A day after it had welcomed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for commemorating Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary as a sign of the party’s “penance”, the Congress on Wednesday staked claim to the ideological and political legacy of the Father of the Nation by taking out padyatras at several places across the country.

Addressing party workers at Rajghat, the Mahatma’s memorial in the national Capital, Congress President Sonia Gandhi criticised the Sangh Parivar for trying to appropriate Gandhian legacy, and said only the Congress has walked on the path shown by Bapu to work for the welfare of the people,
