Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi attended a Congress delegates meeting in Tumkur, Karnataka said that only the Congress is a true secular party. The Congress President alleged that under BJP regime, the state lagged behind. Sonia Gandhi also claimed that Karnataka witnessed tremendous development under Congress.
“The Congress Party is the only truly secular party, it is the only Party that does not compromise with communal forces of any kind. The Congress is the only party that works earnestly for the empowerment of all sections of our society, especially the poor. That is the essential message we have to take to the people” said the Congress President.
“I must compliment all of you for the mass contact and awareness programmes that have been started. The momentum must be sustained. We must interact, be with the people, identify ourselves with the concerns. They must have the confidence that only we will strive to fulfill their hopes and aspirations” said the Congress President.
Sonia Gandhi continued “We must communicate clearly our priorities, policies and programmes. We must also highlight the numerous achievements of the UPA government and how much Karnataka has benefitted from its flagship programmes, like the Mahatma Gandhi-NREGA, the Jawaharlal Nehru- National Urban Renewal Mission, the National Rural Health Mission, the Mid-day Meal Scheme and Bharat Nirman. Just as the RTI was a path-breaking law followed by the Right to Education, the Food Security Bill too will be a major legislative accomplishment that will end hunger and malnutrition. We must also ensure that people recognize that never before has Karnataka received so much financial assistance from the Centre for development projects, both in rural and urban areas. In the seven years of the UPA, Karnataka has got almost Rs 98,000 crore, which is more than double the amount when the NDA was in power”.
“So let us work together. Let us remain disciplined and united. By so doing, we will regain the trust and confidence of farmers, of youth and women, of all the people of Karnataka” urged the Congress leader.
“This is the time for Badla-vaney. The people of the state are demanding it. Let us fulfill their expectations” concluded Sonia Gandhi.
