Addressing the closing session of the party’s three-day Nav Sankalp Chintan Shivir’ here, Gandhi said, We have to accept that the Congress’ connection with the people has been broken. Hailing the frank discussions at the Shivir, Gandhi said which other political party would allow this kind of a discussion where the party leadership is bluntly told what the Congress party feels.
