New Delhi : While Congress party is trying hard to project Rahul Gandhi as a main challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, its senior leader and former Delhi chief minister has opined that the party vice president still lacks maturity and needs more time.
Sheila Dikshit, who withdrew as Congress CM candidate in Uttar Pradesh after her party’s stitched an electoral alliance with Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party, also refuted charges that she had stopped campaigning for the party in the state after that.
When asked why Congress is shrinking to the periphery in several states, Dikshit said, ”The political language has changed quite a lot. In this change of approach, link, language and relationships, Congress is adjusting itself. And, please remember, Rahul is still not mature, his age does not allow him to be mature. He is what… in his forties. Please give him time. Having said all this, Congress believes in development of the weak and marginalised. Rahul is the only one who has spoken about farmers.”
