Sonia Gandhi in Shimla: Congress took the initiative for development in Himachal
Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi,
while addressing a well attended Congress rally on Tuesday at Shimla - the
capital of poll bound Himachal Pradesh- launched a scathing attack on the
ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state government over lack of development
in the state.
“This is one of the most beautiful places in the country and
what is the situation here at present? What BJP did for this state in the past
five years? Why the state of affairs is so pathetic here? Had they paid little
more attention towards development, the situation would have been much better
here. Because of the scarcity of electricity and water the people here are facing
a lot of difficulties. The educated youth here are jobless. There are no
sufficient teachers in schools and adequate doctors in hospitals. The farmers
and other workers also have been facing hardships at present. The life of my
sisters here are full of troubles” said the Congress President. What happened
to the promises made by the BJP? It has shattered your dreams. The duty of a
government should ensure welfare of the poor and justice to all sections of the
society” added Sonia Gandhi.
Without taking any names, she made a veiled attack on BJP
national president Nitin Gadkari, saying that the saffron party never took
action against its leaders accused of corruption. “No other party fought
corruption as much as the Congress and UPA. We took stringent legal actions
against those who proved corrupt. I want
to ask the BJP, has it taken any action against its leaders who are accused of
graft? No; never” argued Sonia Gandhi.
“It was the Congress and UPA which the crucial legislation
of Right To Information, which is a powerful tool to fight corruption. It was the Congress, which made a strong
Lokpal Bill to fight corruption and got it passed in the Lok Sabha. But who
stopped the passage of the same in the Rajya Sabha? It was the BJP which
stalled it. They are not serious about corruption and their fight against
corruption is just a show off. In fact, they are not against graft but are
against the Congress” she added.

Sonia Gandhi in Shimla addresses Congress rally, attacks BJP
Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi,
while addressing a well attended Congress rally on Tuesday at Shimla - the
capital of poll bound Himachal Pradesh- launched a blistering attack on the
ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state government over corruption and lack
of development in the state.
Without taking any names, she made a veiled attack on BJP
national president Nitin Gadkari, saying that the saffron party never took action
against its leaders accused of corruption. “No other party fought corruption as
much as the Congress and UPA. We took stringent legal actions against those who
proved corrupt. I want to ask the BJP,
has it taken any action against its leaders who are accused of graft? No;
never” argued Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi also attacked the BJP for misleading the people
on Foreign Direct Investment in retail. “It is for the benefit of the farmers
and aam aadmi, the Central government has decided to allow FDI in retail. By
this policy, the farmers will be able to get proper prices for their produce by
selling their goods directly at the markets,” and added “Further the common man
would be able to get their security needs at a fair and affordable price. The
agricultural farmers suffer a lot because of the shortage of cold storages and
their products get rotten. The FDI will address this serious problem also. But
he BJP is engaged in false propaganda against our FDI in retail policy. The
important thing is that every state has the liberty not to implement FDI in
their state”. “It seems that BJP is not
at all bothered about the issues of the farmers and they are interested only to
protect their narrow political interests,” quipped the UPA Chairperson.
Striking an emotional chord with the women in the region,
Sonia Gandhi said “My speech will not be complete without remembering the
contributions of my sisters of this beautiful state. I appreciate that the
women here do fulfill their responsibilities in a commendable manner. Aiming for further upliftment of the women in
our society, especially my sisters in the hill areas, the Congress government
implemented 50% reservation for women in panchayats. We also doubled the
salaries of anganwadi workers. We also helped the women to avail bank loan at
low interest rates through Self Help Groups”.
Taking on the BJP led state government the UPA Chairperson
continued, “The rise in the prices of essential commodities is a serious matter
of concern for us and we understand the difficulties of the common man due to
this. The Central Government has been
putting in its serious efforts to control the price rise but the state
governments also have a similar responsibility to take adequate measures to
reduce the burden of the people. When the Congress run state governments
increased the limit of gas cylinders from 6 to 9 to benefit my sisters there,
why the state government here could not take such a step?”
This was Sonia Gandhi’s second round of campaign in the
state after her recent visit on October 22.
