In a letter to AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and members of the extended Congress Working Committee, she said, "I regret that I am unable to be present with all of you on this historic occasion."

The 39th Session of the Indian National Congress was held exactly a hundred years ago at this very location (Veera Soudha in Belagavi), she said, adding, "It is therefore only appropriate that you are assembled at Mahatma Gandhi Nagar. Mahatma Gandhi's becoming Congress President here then was a turning point for our party and for the Independence movement. It was a transformational milestone in our country's history."
