While speaking to the media on Friday, Congress has announced that the party will hold a massive agitation program across the country against Bhartiya Janta Party. The agitations will be held between October 15 and 25.
It is expected that the party will take up the issue of “grim economic situation and joblessness”. Sonia Gandhi had also termed the present economic condition of India as ‘grim’. She slammed the government for indulging in “vendetta politics” instead of fixing the falling economic growth.
Previously on a day before, Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi held a meeting with party leaders. The leader advised them to go beyond the social media agitation and come up with strong programs to hold the government accountable.
