The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) is gearing up to organise a rousing reception for former party president Sonia Gandhi and All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Priyanka Gandhi, who will visit Chennai on October 14 to participate in the ‘Women’s Rights Conference’ organised by the DMK’s women’s wing.
Congress sources say Ms. Sonia Gandhi’s decision to participate in the conference despite her ailing health shows that the relationship between the leadership of the DMK and the Congress is stronger than ever before.
Speaking to The Hindu, TNCC president K.S. Alagiri said Ms. Sonia Gandhi may meet Congress MLAs and MPs. “TNCC took the lead and held a public meeting in support of a caste census. She might want to meet Congress representatives to discuss the issue further,” he said.
