New Delhi, January 23:
Congress president Sonia Gandhi is a workaholic and won’t even listen to her children when it comes to work, her son and party MP Rahul Gandhi has said.

“Me and my sister have been telling her for the last five years to take a holiday. But she has refused to take a break,” he said in New Delhi.

Persistence does not work with her when she makes up her mind on something, he said at a luncheon hosted by AICC Media Department chairman M Veerappa Moily.

“My sister and me have tried every trick in the book,” Gandhi said in response to a question related to the recent illness of the Congress president due to which she was hospitalised on the New Year day.

Rahul even jokingly told the mediapersons to create some pressure on her to take a break.
