Chastened Sonia hastens to Amethi
Bowing to widespread criticism of her escapade yesterday, when she tried to keep her nomination from Bellary a secret till the last moment, Congress president Sonia Gandhi today ordered swift announcement of her choice of Amethi as the second seat from where she will try her luck in the Lok Sabha elections. Scores of Congress leaders rushed to 10, Janpath in dismay today to convey the damage done by Sonia's efforts. Apparently, there was a veritable deluge of bad news from all and sundry and Sonia was inundated by complaints from leaders of many states that she had done the ``wrong thing''. Some CWC members were slated to raise the issue at this evening's meeting of the CEC.Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
