Newly elected party President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday vowed to make Congress a `grand old and young party`. In his first address as the Congress President at the party headquarters in Delhi, Rahul lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said only the Congress can stop what the BJP is doing to this country.
He also said that Congress took India to the 21st century, but "the prime minister today is taking us back to the medieval times. We are now being compelled to imagine that businesses can be built without harmony and that only one man himself is the voice of reason. Expertise, experience and knowledge can be cast aside for personal glory."
