While the party functionaries were busy giving explanations to the electronic and other media regarding the pettiness and low level thinking of the BJP Party and others who are opposed to the candidature of Sonia to head the Government, the question was raised in the C.W.C. meeting on Saturday the matter came up in the meeting for discussion.
