Congress President Sonia Gandhi is normally a cool person. She believes in action and does not talk much.. But the current Monsoon session of the Parliament witnessed an aggressive Sonia Gandhi who has been directing the Congress MPs to take on the Opposition defending the ruling alliance.
On the first day of the monsoon session, the UPA chairperson forced senior BJP leader L K Advani to withdraw an objectionable comment made by him terming the UPA as illegitimate, from his speech during an adjournment motion against the government. Next day, she intervened effectively when Shailendra Kumar from the Samajwadi Party raised the issue of ensuring reservations in promotions for SC/ST government servants. Further during a discussion on the killing of six Sikhs in a US Gurudwara, Sonia Gandhi prompted Congress MPs and even parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal to aggressively defend the party against the Akali Dal's accusations that Congress hadn't done much for the Sikhs.
After the tabling of CAG report by the centre, the BJP has been demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and the Parliament continues to be non-functional for the past ten days. Sonia Gandhi has taken it very seriously and has asked her MPs to expose BJP and its obstructionist strategies. It is a fact that BJP also can not wash their hands off in the coal back allocation issues. Further, BJP is in a confusion when the Congress tabled the SC/ST quota bill in the House. The Congress under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi has been handling the situation very strategically putting the opposition in disarray.
Sonia Gandhi always realised that it is her responsibility o defend the ruling coalition whenever it is under attack and she has been successful in this matter so far.
