The Congress is all set to be bombarded with another 'letter bomb', this time it comes from Uttar Pradesh. Nine senior Congress leaders, expelled from the party last year, have sent a letter to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi asking her to save the party before its slips into "history".

In a veiled attack on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is the party general secretary in charge of UP, the four-page letter urges Sonia Gandhi to rise above family — 'parivaar ke moh se upar uthe' — and restore the democratic traditions of the party.
