Congress President Sonia Gandhi during her a rally in connection with West Bengal Assembly elections in April highlighted pro-poor schemes launched by Congress-led UPA government. She said, “Left Front government had taken the state to near collapse.” State debt had soared to 2 lacs crores under the Left rule which was alarming. The Left Front government in its own report had admitted that half of the people were living below poverty line and had not got even BPL cards. In certain areas two third of the people did not have drinkable water facilities. There was no law and order in the State. Atrocities against weaker sections were on the rise particularly against women. There was no urban development. She stated that while majority of the people in the state were engaged in agriculture yet the Left Front government had done nothing for them. Half of the area in certain districts was without irrigation facilities. The plight of the agricultural labourers who worked on crop sharing was worst. Sonia Gandhi said it were Congress’s pro-people schemes that mattered to the people and not the party label.
