An aggressive Congress president Sonia Gandhi took on the opposition parties and the anti-corruption activists head-on at a rally held in Ramlila Ground, while Prime Minister Mammohan Singh stressed that the economic reforms were needed to create more jobs.
Buffeted by charges of corruption against its government, a combative Congress Sunday hit out at detractors saying it would give them a "fitting reply" and also touted the benefits of its economic reforms agenda in a massive show of strength here.
However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wasn't very impressed, terming the rally "anti-people".
The rally in the heart of the national capital took a major toll on vehicular movement on major thoroughfares, choking several roads and huge traffic snarls were reported from all over the city. Nearly 3,000 buses from Rajasthan and Haryana and another 2,000 buses from the capital itself disgorged thousands of Congress supporters to the rally venue in central Delhi.
