I am a full-time Congress chief, party needs unity: What Sonia Gandhi told G-23 leaders at CWC meet

For the first time, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday seemed to address the matter of “unity” or lack thereof at the Congress Working Committee meeting on Saturday. She said, “The entire organization wants a revival of the Congress. But this requires unity and keeping the party’s interests paramount. Above all, it requires self-control and discipline.”
