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). While addressing the function, Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi said the Aadhaar scheme gives identity to the common man and is a tool to claim benefits. She also said that using the Aadhaar card the common man can claim his rights anywhere in the country. “The Aadhaar card will help the government in ensuring that subsidy reaches its intended beneficiaries directly and the poor will not have to run from pillar to post to claim their rights,” added Sonia Gandhi.

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)

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.
