"Congress is the only pan-India party with presence in all cities and villages," Sonia Gandhi said.
The Congress president also said that the party should look as its strengths and weaknesses.

Sonia Gandhi was addressing the Congress Party's 'Chintan Shivir' at Jaipur on Friday.
Ways to shore up the economy, women's empowerment, foreign affairs, organisational strength and the recent flash mob protests will be discussed at the Congress' strategy session at Jaipur Jan 18-20.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the party's de facto number two Rahul Gandhi will address the All India Congress Committee session on Jan 20, which will approve the Jaipur declaration.
