Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
New Delhi:
A day after her son and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi disagreed with Maharashtra government rejecting the Adarsh scam report, party president Sonia Gandhi today said the issue will be resolved.
"Adarsh issue has been discussed within the party and will be resolved... Corruption and inflation remain the key issues for us," Mrs Gandhi said.
The Adarsh Housing Society was granted prime land in Mumbai in 2002 for apartments intended for war widows and veterans. However, politicians, bureaucrats and defence officers colluded to grab flats at cheap prices.
Sources said the Maharashtra cabinet is expected to meet and reverse its position on Adarsh report. The sources, however, ruled out any action against Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, one of the four leaders indicted in the report.
In what he described as his "personal opinion," Rahul Gandhi yesterday said the Congress is "dead serious about fighting corruption". He also said the Maharashtra government, headed by his party's Prithviraj Chavan, should not have rejected the Adarsh scam report.
"Look at us by all means and point out our mistakes, but do look at others as well," Sonia Gandhi told reporters.
The Congress suffered heavily in the recent assembly elections, a loss attributed most to the various corruption scandals plaguing the party.
"We have big challenges, but we are determined to be together and to fight and to win," Mrs Gandhi said.
