Vijay Wadettiwar: If Rahul Gandhi asks Maha Congress to cut ties with Sena, will do it immediately

Maharashtra minister Vijay Wadettiwar on Monday said the Congress is a perfect example of democratic values, and the letter written by some party leaders to Sonia Gandhi over demand for a "full-time" president should not seen as opposition to the current leadership.

Talking to reporters, the senior Congress leader also said the Gandhi family has the capacity to lead the country and the party and that Rahul Gandhi should be reinstated as the party president.

"The Congress party epitomises true democratic values, hence the letter should not be seen as opposition to current leadership," the senior party leader said.

Asked if Rahul Gandhi asks the Maharashtra Congress to break ties with the Shiv Sena, Wadettiwar said, "If he asks us to leave the government, we will do it immediately. We will not stay with the government one more day."
