Sky is the limit

Heavy rains marred celebrations at the Congress office on Saturday when Sonia Gandhi had to take her certificate of re-election to the president’s post. But, it also gave an opportunity to professor-turned-General-Secretary Janardan Dwivedi to display his oratory skills. He told the audience, pointing to the sky: “This shows the Congress has the tradition of coming out victorious from all resistance and unfavourable situations.” Minutes before Gandhi took the stage, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived and wanted to see the certificate. While Oscar Fernandes was the key in-charge of the election, Dwivedi took out the certificate from a plastic cover and handed it over to the PM, who read the whole text before returning it back to him.
