Sonia Gandhi

Sonia as she got elected as AICC president for fourth consecutive time.

then What? We all have to recognize the fact that Sonia Gandhi have come long way in last "pushkar" time(12 years) - mainly because, in simple terms, of her actions and her opposition party actions. Sonia,consciously or otherwise, made decision to give up coveted post to Manmohan Singh and decided to lead the party from front. Its that decision which helped her to spend full time on party affairs and leaving govt execution to Manmohan Singh. She also formed core committee with key party leaders who are in and out of governament to make decisions on key issues. Even though, It may not be good parliamentary practice to have some committee like this one, which is super numery body over central Cabinet, but it attracted less criticism but more praise. All the credit goes to Sonia on how she runs core committe. Coming to opposition party, BJP, failed miserably in dealing with Congress Party and government - thanks to their party constitution to not to have a president for not more than a term of 2 years.
