Latest News about Sharmistha Mukherjee
In an interview with IANS from Gurugram, Sharmistha Mukherjee said Congress was focused on forming alliances to win elections rather than strengthening its organisation. She argued that Rahul Gandhi, the party's face since 2014, had failed to secure a decisive mandate, and she questioned his commitment to sustained political work after short campaign bursts.
Sharmistha Mukherjee said the opposition should have stood firmly with the government during Operation Sindoor, the military strike on terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK, and that national security should rise above party politics. She acknowledged her personal disagreements with some of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies while criticising Congress for behaving childishly on the issue.
