Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Saturday said that she was hopeful that the Food Security Bill will be passed in Parliament.

Asked about the possibility of UPA-III coming to power and what was the USP on which the elections will be fought, she said: “Certainly. 100 per cent......obviously so many rights we have given. It is our right to information, right to education and now right to food is our USP.''

Sonia Gandhi was speaking on the sidelines of the inaguration of the National Media Centre.

She also ruled out early Lok Sabha elections stating, “we will go till the very end...”

Reacting on the Mumbai photojournalist gang-rape case, she said that it was a heinous crime, should not have happened and that she was saddened.
