Today, our party has a presidenta who is a donna and our nation has a presidenta who is a donna! We are making storia, history, Mamma, storia! No other party on the terra, planet, yes Mamma, in the whole mondo, has had the vision to be as pro-woman as Rajiv’s, Indira’s and Sonia’s party.

The Congress Party has always believed in women — and Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are but two examples of its interesse, concern, for women.
