Sonia Gandhi - an efficient leader with a progressive vision

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi turned 66 today. She always has been reluctant to celebrate her birthday. At a time when political leaders spend hefty amounts for their birth day celebrations and other occasions, here comes a leader with difference who always considers it improper to engage in unnecessary extravaganza.

For Sonia Gandhi politics is not power but a way to serve the people. She was always concerned about the poor and underprivileged and the children. The Gandhi-Nehru family is known to the sacrifice for the nation. They always found it supreme to serve the people and the country. The present Congress President Sonia Gandhi proved that she also finds it important to serve the Nation than anything else. “Sacrifice for the nation is not the tradition of politics but it is the culture of our nation, the culture to serve the human kind” said Sonia Gandhi once. “31 years back I came to India as a bride of Rajiv Gandhi. And now I will spend my life till my last in this country and nobody can take away this right from me”. This shows her real passion towards India.

As chairperson of the National Advisory Committee and the UPA chairperson, she played an important role in making the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Right to Information Act into law.  She also actively involved in framing policies like Mid-day meal scheme for the school children, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Anti Communalism Bill and Food security Bill. Sonia Gandhi is also keen to get the Women Reservation Bill implemented.

Jawahar Lal Nehru visualized a developmed India, Indira Gandhi took his dream forward, Rajiv Gandhi put the country among the top nations in the world and at present Sonia Gandhi has also been contributing high to make a strong and self reliant India.

Sonia Gandhi asks; why BJP govt in Karnataka is not increasing the LPG cylinder limit?

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while addressing a Congress rally in Mangalore in Karnataka, asked the ruling BJP government in Karnataka what have it done for the welfare of the people. She also slammed the BJP by saying that it never took any serious action to fight corruption. “As you all know we have no control on the international prices of oil which have gone up from 40 dollars per barrels 10 years ago, to 140 dollars per barrel today. You know that we import 80% of crude oil from which we make petrol, diesel, kerosene and cooking gas. We continue to subsidise kerosene which must be done. But we have been compelled and we have no option but to increase the prices of diesel and the cooking gas. In spite of these, UPA government is doing its best not to burden the people with more hardships. As we hold the responsibility as a Government at the Centre, the state government also has some responsibility. I want to ask the BJP government here why have not the government increase the limit of LPG cylinders to a family from 6 to 9. This is what our Congress government has done in the states ruled by us. Why has the Karnataka Government not reduced the VAT on diesel, just like our Congress led governments have done? So it is very easy to criticize others but what about you (the state government), what are you doing to reduce the hardships of your people? It is your (state government’s) responsibility as much as ours” said Sonia Gandhi.

She also launched a scathing attack on BJP and said that it never took any serious action to fight corruption. “Above all, a victory for the Congress is a victory for every one of you and if the party loses we all lose.

So it is that very spirit of unity, of solidarity, that we should recapture and sustain” said Sonia Gandhi. “I want now to touch upon some national issues that are challenging and affecting the people of our country. The crisis in the global economy has worsened. And this is affecting us also significantly. Even though our growth rate is still respectable, our export growth has fallen and we are forced to pay much more the import of central commodities like oil, fertilizers and other vital materials. We face difficult and painful crisis on the one hand we have to ensure that the government finances remain healthy on the other hand and expenditure on our poverty alleviation programmes, rural development, education, health have to be not only protected but they have to be sustained” said Sonia Gandhi further.

She addressed a Congress workers’ convention organized by the Indian National Congress and the state unit of Congress at Nehru Maidan in Mangalore. “Whenever we were united, we swept the elections. There is a need to recapture the spirit of unity and solidarity, which the party workers had shown way back in 1977, to give a political rebirth to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,” said Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi also visited the Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara temple in the city and inaugurated the centenary celebrations, Mangalore Dussehra and the elevator at the temple premises. She called upon people to uphold the concept of one caste, one religion and one world, propagated by Brahmashri Narayanaguru, who was the driving force behind the Kudroli temple.
