New Delhi, March 13
Suspended Congress MP Kuldeep Bishnoi has accused party president Sonia Gandhi of arrogance and insecurity and hinted that he will be the Chief Minister of Haryana one day.
Hitting out at the party chief, Bishnoi said Sonia and her son Rahul were surrounded by a coterie, which was keeping them away from the masses and the common man.
“She is afraid of any other young Congress leader because she thinks that he or she can be a threat to Rahul”, Bishnoi said in an interview.
Bishnoi claimed that whatever political experience Sonia had gained had not changed her personality.
He also accused the Congress president of going back on her commitment to make his father Bhajan Lal Chief Minister after the Haryana assembly elections in 2005.
Bishnoi said he had told his father before the Haryana elections that Sonia was unlikely to make him Chief Minister if the Congress won.
According to Bishnoi, he had suggested to Sonia that she should have visited victims of the Samjhauta Express blast in Panipat last month instead of attending a party rally in Rohtak.
He had also written to her about police attacks on striking workers of Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India Limited in Gurgaon and atrocities against Dalits in Gohana.
“The Congress is no longer a democratic party. It is a party of one family”, he said.
