Former legislative assembly speaker and senior Congress legislator KR Ramesh Kumar stoked controversy on Thursday when he claimed Congress functionaries "have amassed enough wealth to last 3-4 generations by using the names of Nehru and Gandhi families", and it is now payback time. He was participating in a rally the Congress had called to protest the Enforcement Directorate summoning and questioning AICC president Sonia Gandhi in an alleged money-laundering case. The protests crippled traffic in the city, while two vehicles were set on fire. "Sonia Gandhi is facing a tough time," Kumar said, addressing protesters at Freedom Park. "She lost her husband and mother-in-law. We must stand by her. In the past 60-odd years, we earned enough in the name of Nehru, Indira [Gandhi] and Sonia Gandhi to last the next 3-4 generations. If we don't stand by her now, there will be worms in our meals."
