Talking about the Congress party, Shweta, said, "The Congress party is like a rudderless ship. The ship (party) is without a commander. Congress also doesn't have any objective. "When asked about the reason behind quitting the Congress, Shweta said, "This could not be explained in a single sentence. I have some vision to be achieved in my life and it was not possible while remaining in the Congress party. To realise the goal, a political platform was needed. BJP is the best place where I could nurture my dreams."
