Amid efforts at Opposition unity, Congress chief seen as asserting leadership
Unfurling the national flag at the Congress headquarters on Sunday to mark the 75th Independence Day, Congress president Sonia Gandhi sought to subtly assert her leadership in the presence of ‘detractors’. Among the senior leaders present were prominent members of Congress’ 23 dissenters or G-23 — who had written to Ms. Gandhi last August, seeking inner party reforms and a ‘visible leadership’ among other issues — including Ghulam Nabi Azad, Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Anand Sharma. Other senior leaders who attended the celebrations included former party chief Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, former Defence Minister A.K. Antony, Pawan Bansal, and Partap Singh Bajwa.
