Sonia Gandhi Targets Centre In CPP Meet, Says Government Has No Intention To Conduct Census

Lashing out on centre government over its failures, Congress parliamentary Party, CPP, head Sonia Gandhi said the central government has no intention to conduct census. She also brought up other issues during the meet, including the Union Budget, Manipur violence, and terror attacks in J&K.

Addressing Congress Parliamentary Party on Wednesday, Sonia Gandhi Launched a Scathing attack on government. “It is clear that the government has no intention whatsoever to conduct the Census that was last due in 2021. This will prevent us from having an up-to-date estimate of the population of the country, especially of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes,” said Gandhi.

While attacking the Centre on the Union Budget, she said, “Pressing demands of farmers and youth, in particular, have been totally ignored. Allocations in a number of vital sectors have not done justice to the tasks required to be fulfilled. There has been a widespread disappointment, in spite of the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister and others to talk up the Budget and its so-called accomplishments. The Union Government, especially its top leadership, continues to be self-delusional as crores of families across the country are devastated by mounting unemployment and price rise.”

She began the meeting with extending deepest condolence impacted families of calamity that has overtaken Wayanad.

Sonia Gandhi pointed out loopholes in deescalating education system in CPP Meet

Gandhi said that education has been amongst the worst casualties in the past years. “Instead of taking the nation forward, the entire educational system is being shown up as flawed and manipulated. The exposure of how competitive examinations have been allowed has destroyed the faith of lakhs of youth and dealt their future a body blow. The professional character autonomy of organizations like the NCERT, UGC and even of Constitutional bodies like the UPSC has been all but destroyed.”
