Congress president Sonia Gandhi addressed her first rally for this week's Assembly polls and called upon people to defeat the forces of 'hatred' who cause 'riots' for electoral gains. Sonia Gandhi asked the people to strengthen the secular fabric of the country and vote against the 'politics of hatred’. 'Some forces, when in power, begin to work towards incidents such as Trilokpuri, Dilshad Garden and Vikaspuri. In order to ensure that democracy is protected...these forces must be defeated,' she told a sizeable crowd at Meethapur in the Badarpur Assembly seat..
