Sonia Gandhi in Shimla: Congress took the initiative for development in Himachal
Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi,
while addressing a well attended Congress rally on Tuesday at Shimla - the
capital of poll bound Himachal Pradesh- launched a scathing attack on the
ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state government over lack of development
in the state.
“This is one of the most beautiful places in the country and
what is the situation here at present? What BJP did for this state in the past
five years? Why the state of affairs is so pathetic here? Had they paid little
more attention towards development, the situation would have been much better
here. Because of the scarcity of electricity and water the people here are facing
a lot of difficulties. The educated youth here are jobless. There are no
sufficient teachers in schools and adequate doctors in hospitals. The farmers
and other workers also have been facing hardships at present. The life of my
sisters here are full of troubles” said the Congress President. What happened
to the promises made by the BJP? It has shattered your dreams. The duty of a
government should ensure welfare of the poor and justice to all sections of the
society” added Sonia Gandhi.
Without taking any names, she made a veiled attack on BJP
national president Nitin Gadkari, saying that the saffron party never took
action against its leaders accused of corruption. “No other party fought
corruption as much as the Congress and UPA. We took stringent legal actions
against those who proved corrupt. I want
to ask the BJP, has it taken any action against its leaders who are accused of
graft? No; never” argued Sonia Gandhi.
“It was the Congress and UPA which the crucial legislation
of Right To Information, which is a powerful tool to fight corruption. It was the Congress, which made a strong
Lokpal Bill to fight corruption and got it passed in the Lok Sabha. But who
stopped the passage of the same in the Rajya Sabha? It was the BJP which
stalled it. They are not serious about corruption and their fight against
corruption is just a show off. In fact, they are not against graft but are
against the Congress” she added.

Sonia Gandhi in Shimla addresses Congress rally, attacks BJP
Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi,
while addressing a well attended Congress rally on Tuesday at Shimla - the
capital of poll bound Himachal Pradesh- launched a blistering attack on the
ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state government over corruption and lack
of development in the state.
Without taking any names, she made a veiled attack on BJP
national president Nitin Gadkari, saying that the saffron party never took action
against its leaders accused of corruption. “No other party fought corruption as
much as the Congress and UPA. We took stringent legal actions against those who
proved corrupt. I want to ask the BJP,
has it taken any action against its leaders who are accused of graft? No;
never” argued Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi also attacked the BJP for misleading the people
on Foreign Direct Investment in retail. “It is for the benefit of the farmers
and aam aadmi, the Central government has decided to allow FDI in retail. By
this policy, the farmers will be able to get proper prices for their produce by
selling their goods directly at the markets,” and added “Further the common man
would be able to get their security needs at a fair and affordable price. The
agricultural farmers suffer a lot because of the shortage of cold storages and
their products get rotten. The FDI will address this serious problem also. But
he BJP is engaged in false propaganda against our FDI in retail policy. The
important thing is that every state has the liberty not to implement FDI in
their state”. “It seems that BJP is not
at all bothered about the issues of the farmers and they are interested only to
protect their narrow political interests,” quipped the UPA Chairperson.
Striking an emotional chord with the women in the region,
Sonia Gandhi said “My speech will not be complete without remembering the
contributions of my sisters of this beautiful state. I appreciate that the
women here do fulfill their responsibilities in a commendable manner. Aiming for further upliftment of the women in
our society, especially my sisters in the hill areas, the Congress government
implemented 50% reservation for women in panchayats. We also doubled the
salaries of anganwadi workers. We also helped the women to avail bank loan at
low interest rates through Self Help Groups”.
Taking on the BJP led state government the UPA Chairperson
continued, “The rise in the prices of essential commodities is a serious matter
of concern for us and we understand the difficulties of the common man due to
this. The Central Government has been
putting in its serious efforts to control the price rise but the state
governments also have a similar responsibility to take adequate measures to
reduce the burden of the people. When the Congress run state governments
increased the limit of gas cylinders from 6 to 9 to benefit my sisters there,
why the state government here could not take such a step?”
This was Sonia Gandhi’s second round of campaign in the
state after her recent visit on October 22.

Sonia Gandhi at the Aadhaar function recalls Rajiv Gandhi’s contribution
In a bid to plug loopholes in the implementation of welfare schemes, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi launched the nationwide Aadhaar Enabled Service Delivery from Dudu in Rajasthan, marking the second anniversary of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

It was because of this long term vision only our country witnessed a revolution in technology especially in the telecom sector.

Rahul Gandhi kick-starts his campaign in Himachal
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
joined the Congress campaign in the poll
bound state of Himachal Pradesh on Thursday accused the BJP of creating
obstructions for the legislations benefiting the people at large. Rahul Gandhi also argued that only the
Congress is serious to fight corruption. He addressed public rallies in Solan,
Kangra and Keylong. The Congress leader said while the union government has
been sending money through central schemes, the state government has created a
situation where a very small portion reaches its intended beneficiaries.
Taking on the BJP for its "anti-tribal" policies, Rahul
Gandhi said that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was responsible for
getting tribal status for the residents of Lahaul and Spiti and the Congress
had made every effort to ensure the welfare of the tribal community in the
state and the country.
"It was only after this that the tribal sub-plan
started. But what is the BJP trying to do? They are trying to bring this down
further. They are reducing it from 9 per cent to 8.5 per cent," Rahul Gandhi
said attacking the BJP government. "We run a government that works for the
welfare of poor, a government that provides schemes like MNREGA while they run
a government for the rich," he said, adding, "We talk about joining,
while they talk about breaking".
In Kangra, Rahul Gandhi said BJP was opposed to the idea of
a government working for welfare of the 'aam admi' and that is why it did not
allow Parliament to function. "Disruption of the Parliament did not hurt
the BJP. It hurt the common people," he said. Rahul Gandhi urged the
voters to support Congress for the benefit of the people and development of the
state.

Sonia Gandhi speaks on 60th Anniversary of the first sitting of Parliament of India
Needs at least Flash Player Ver.9 to Play Download Here
Congress President Sonia Gandhi while addressing the Parliament on the occasion of 60th Anniversary of the first sitting of Parliament of India said, “Sixty five years ago, India awakened to freedom with a bold and ambitious vision. A vision to build legislature on the basis of universal adult franchise. At one stroke millions of our poor and illiterate men and women were given the power to change their destiny. Let us not forget those troubled days and months and the numerous challenges the country faced then. Millions of refugees were homeless, communal tensions were rife, borders were tensed, resources were scarce. The very idea of a democratic India was being ridiculed in many quarters. When far older democracies had achieved universal adult franchise after long decades of struggle, how could it become a reality a nation beset with such problems. These questions were then asked. To their eternal credit and our undying gratitude our founding fathers persisted. The poor and illiterate masses of this country have turned out to be amazingly skilled and sophisticated. Again and again they have voted with wisdom, voted with purpose, sometimes reaffirming their faith in those governments , sometimes voting them out. And if there is one thread running through this past six decades, it is people's power which has been felt at the highest level of governance. The Aam admi has become the heart and the soul of our democracy. India's freedom struggle reinvented the idea of democracy. The notion of democracy said Gandhiji the father of our nation and the leader of our freedom struggle is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest. It is this revolutionary idea that opened the doors of our legislatures and began to transform the Indian society. It has done so in a peaceful and evolutionary manner based on the time tested principles of secularism and social justice.

“During elections, leaders like Mulayam Singh and Mayawati come to you and shower promises. The poor labourers and farmers shed their sweat and blood and develop the country. But these leaders do not respect them. They loot your money. Ahead of elections they come to you and make tall promises. After coming to power, they forget the people. This has been happening for the past 22 years in UP,” said Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing an election rally in Rampur as part of his election campaign in Uttar Pradesh. The country cannot move ahead without development in UP he added.

Rahul Gandhi addresses Congress rally in Solan (Himachal Pradesh)
.jpg)
While
addressing a well-attended rally in Solan (HP) as part of his Congress campaign
in the poll bound Himachal Pradesh, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
backed Centre's decision to allow FDI in multi-brand retail and said that the
decision will help farmers prosper by ensuring proper prices for their
crops. The AICC General Secretary also slammed BJP for obstructing every
pro-poor policies of the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre. “We
introduced Land Acquisition Bill. The intention behind the bill was to ensure
that the poor farmers get adequate price for their land acquired. We had
witnessed the bad experiences of the farmers in Uttar Pradesh. When we brought
the Bill, the BJP stalled it in the Parliament standing committee. It is
adopting the delaying tactics. Who is the loser? It is the poor farmers who
will suffer. BJP tries to halt all our welfare programmes, whether it is right
to food, right to education, right to information or MNREGA”. “Since they
lost elections in 2004 and 2009, they wanted to stall all the pro-poor policies
of the Congress-led Central government. BJP is afraid that if the UPA
Government is successful in passing the Bills like right to food and Land
acquisition, it will not be able to win in 2014” he added. Slamming BJP
for their double stance on corruption, Rahul Gandhi said “BJP cries loud
against corruption. But the biggest policy to tackle corruption, the Right to
information, was brought by the Congress. There is no any other better policy
to fight corruption like the RTI. Whenever we see corruption, we take strong
action against the culprits. Even our ministers were sent to jail. But what BJP
is doing? Here, the BJP government grabs the land of the poor farmers and sell
it to rich people” Explaining that Congress also was in the opposition but
never opposed any pro-poor polcies, the Congress MP said “We also were in
opposition. When Kargil war broke out, we strongly stood by the then BJP
government. The Congress never obstructed any pro-poor and pro-development
policies”. Rahul Gandhi urged the voters to support Congress and elect Congress
for a better and developed Himachal Pradesh.
