Speaking about Sonia Gandhi, Kulkarni said, she is a “woman of Courage” for leading Congress party for 19 years despite all the odds.

“#SoniaGandhi, a Woman of Courage. One who overcame impossible odds to lead the #Congress for 19 long years. Her speech today touched millions of hearts. It speaks to the greatness of Indian culture and Indian democracy that Indian people accepted her as their own. #Salute,” Kulkarni tweeted further.

Rahul Gandhi on Saturday took over as the 16^th President of the Congress from his mother Sonia Gandhi who had been leading the Grand-Old Party for 19 years.

Rahul took the charge at a ceremony held at the lawns of the party’s 24 Akbar Road headquarters in Delhi.
