| Top Congress leaders brainstormed on the party's strategy for the 2014 elections at the two-day Chintan Shivir in Jaipur. The focus was also on how the Congress can pull the alienated masses, who are stung by corruption and rising prices, back into its fold.
Here are some reactions from the Chintan Shivir and outside it:
Kamal Nath, Parliamentary Affairs Minister
There are two kinds of coalitions, pre-election and post- election. We should keep pre-election coalitions to the minimum so that our spread continues. Post-election, if we do not have the numbers, we have to stitch together a coalition. That's a reality in all parliamentary democracies.
Sanjay Nirupam, Congress leader
It has almost been announced that the Congress is going to fight the 2014 elections under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. He is our candidate for the post of prime minister after the 2014 elections.
Veerappa Moily, Petroleum Minister
Rahul Gandhi is our leader in the present and for the future.
Ravi Shankar Prasad, Spokesperson, BJP
The Congress's Chintan Shivir has become a chinta (matter of worry) for the Congress. Why has Sonia Gandhi raised all these issues in her speech after nine years of being in power?
Manmohan Singh has always been projected as a distinguished economist. After nine years, I am tempted to ask why the GDP is falling and prices rising.
DAY 1
Sonia Gandhi, Congress president
(On corruption) Our citizens are fed up with the levels of corruption that they see in public life at high levels, but equally with the corruption they have to deal with in their daily lives.
(To the youth) "Seeing so many of our younger colleagues here, I am tempted to say something on a subject that has always bothered me. And this relates to our lifestyles. Celebrating wedding, festivals and happy events is one thing but what of lavish ostentatious displays of wealth, pomp and status? Does this not beg the question where is this wealth coming from?
