Sonia Gandhi: The aam admi has become the heart and soul of our democracy

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi spoke on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of India's first Parliamentary session on Sunday.
“Again and again, they have voted with wisdom and purpose, sometimes reaffirming their faith in those who govern them, sometimes voting them out. If there is one thread running through these past six decades, it is that people's power is felt constantly at the highest levels of governance. The aam admi has become the heart and soul of our democracy and has made it our greatest triumph”.
“India’s freedom struggle reinvented the idea of democracy. "My notion of democracy", said Gandhiji, the Father of our nation and the leader of our freedom struggle, "is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest," commented the UPA Chairperson.
