BJP concerned only about power, not about poor: Sonia Gandhi

Valsad, April 24 (ANI): While addressing a rally in Valsad constituency of Gujarat, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday lashed out BJP and said that they are only concerned about gaining power and not about the welfare of poor. Gandhi said that the state government did not allow the Lokayukta to come in Gujarat for 10 years, alleging that their aim was to save themselves from getting exposed. She also said that the opposition says that if they come to power, nation will turn into a 'heaven', and later questions if considering family with Rs 11/day income as not poor is anywhere near heaven or not.
