To wipe out the setback at Rahul's rally in Ambedkar Nagar of south Delhi last week where half of the seats were vacant, Congress today pulled out all stops in a bid to make Congress President Sonia Gandhi's poll meeting at Shastri Park a success by ferrying thousands of people in buses from east and north-east parts of the city.
The venue was nearly full to its capacity with police sources saying around 15,000 people attended the meeting.Congress workers, wearing Nehru caps and in white trousers and shirts, were seen managing the crowd along with Delhi Police. Hundreds of them had merged with locals to be part of the crowd.
Sonia was greeted by the crowd when she waved and started her speech with popular Hindi proverbs 'Haath kangan ko arsi kya' and 'Pratayksh ke liye praman ki jaroorat nahi hoti'; referring to development of Delhi during the three terms of Congress government.
