Mumbai: Stating that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has come a long way after his party's defeat in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, former Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan said he needs to further increase his aggressiveness to corner the BJP in Parliament.
Mr Chavan said that Mr Gandhi, besides speaking more in the Parliament, needs also to focus on his body language to improve his credibility among the masses.
"An effective use of the Parliament will further improve his credibility. Along with this, he needs to focus on his body language which can instil the party's ideas in the minds of people," he said.
He said the Parliament is the only option Opposition leaders have to raise issues.
Mr Chavan, known to be close to the Congress's central leadership, said Mr Gandhi will eventually be known for his thoughts and ideas put forward in the Parliament.
"While Sonia ji (Congress President Sonia Gandhi) prefers to meticulously plan her rally speeches as she is not very comfortable in Hindi, Rahul ji tends to take it little lightly because he is well versed with the language. This, at times, proves to be a lacunae which can be changed," he said.
