Sonia Gandhi Alleges Lack of Level Playing Field for Opposition

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has stated that opposition parties have faced an uneven political landscape since 2014. She accused the current government of exerting influence over the Election Commission and mainstream media.

These comments arrive as the Congress-led INDIA bloc challenges the Election Commission over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Opposition leaders have expressed concerns that this process could result in the removal of valid voters from the rolls.

Despite these challenges, Gandhi expressed optimism regarding the future of the Congress party. She noted that the party is collaborating with like-minded groups and believes their electoral prospects are strengthening.

Gandhi also addressed the state of democratic institutions, suggesting that restoring them will require significant time and effort. Her upcoming memoir, which covers her personal and political life, is scheduled for publication on November 10.
