"achhe din" will work against BJP, Congress will return to power in 2019

Mumbai, March 09: UPA Chairperson and former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Friday said the promise of "achhe din" will work against the BJP in the same manner as 'India Shining' campaign did against then Vajpayee government in the 2004 General Elections.

She also said that the Congress and its allies in the United Progressive Alliance will return to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

"The main issue with the BJP is that they made huge fantastic promises. But what is being implemented? They sold such a positive picture -- we will give jobs, give you Rs 15 lakh. There is great disappointment. I am confident the BJP's 'achhe din' will actually turn into 'India Shining' -- which brought us to power (in 2004)," she said at an India Today conclave here.
