Congress President Rahul Gandhi speaks to BloombergQuint's Raghav Bahl and Sanjay Pugalia about Lok Sabha elections, the need for alliances, the party's economic policies and more.
The Congress party has done a good job through this campaign season, leading up to election 2019, said Congress President Rahul Gandhi in an interview with BloombergQuint.
“We have massive financial constraints when compared to the BJP. But we have done a good job,” he said. Speaking about what could have been done differently, he said “There's always a better way of doing things.”
The challenges for India on the foreign front are clear - there's a superpower in the U.S., an emerging superpower in China and confusion in Europe, he said. “India must stand with China & U.S. as equals,” Gandhi said adding that it can't be subservient.
However, it must also realise where its strengths lie and where it is not strong.
