As part of her Congress campaign, Congress President SoniaGandhi addressed a huge public rally in Punjab and said that the Akali-BJP Government in the state is not at all serious to implement the policies of the Congress led Central Government for the benefit of the poor.
"The Congress-led UPA Government has made a lot of policies to provide support to the common man. These policies can improve the condition of the lower sections of the society and give them a chance to rejoice," said Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi further said the Congress-led Central Government has been providing financial assistance without any discrimination to the entire states under various central schemes. "Congress-led central government has been sending funds without any bias to the entire states for developmental works, but the Punjab Government did not pay serious attention to these developmental schemes. For example, the funds sent for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act that aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment, was not properly utilized," added Sonia Gandhi.

So, it can be said with confidence that Gurudaspur is moving ahead on the path to progress and development on its on," Sonia Gandhi said.
