Embarrassing the BJP party and leadership, its senior leader and former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa heaped praises on the Nehru-Gandhi family and lashed out at his own party chief Nitin Gadkari and veteran leader L.K. Advani.

“The Congress leadership from Pandit Nehru to Sonia Gandhi did not go back on their promises to their party leaders" said Yeddyurappa. "This quality needs to be appreciated," he told reporters in Bangalore as Gadkari and other BJP leaders attended the last day of a party meet in Surajkund in Haryana.

"Till Atal Behari Vajpayee's time, this was the case in BJP also. But not now," BSY added. An immediate fallout of Yeddyurappa's outburst appeared to be the BJP leadership dropping plans to name a successor to incumbent state unit chief K.S. Eshwarappa, whose term ends this month-end.

Sonia Gandhi to kick off poll campaign for Congress in Gujarat on Oct 2

Ahmadabad: The Congress is all set to launch its election campaign in Gujarat with a farmers' rally in Rajkot which would be addressed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi on October 2. The party hopes to benefit from Gujarat Parivartan Party, a breakaway faction of the BJP headed by former chief minister Keshubhai Patel who can draw sizeable Patel votes and upset BJP's applecart.

Saurashtra has been a BJP stronghold since two decades backed by Patel votes. The ruling BJP secured 35 seats in 2007 assembly elections sparing 14 for Congress and one for NCP. However, the delimitation of assembly seats has changed the voter dynamics. Now, the number of representatives from Saurashtra region has dropped from 59 to 48, according to a data provided by the office of chief electoral officer of Gujarat.

Sonia Gandhi who will address rallies in Rajkot and Jetpur will seek to remind farmers that it was the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government that waived their debt worth Rs 70,000 crore in 2008. It hopes that this would strike a chord with local farmers who saw their crop dry down during the kharif season. Gujarat received scanty rains in July and August leading to the state government declaring 123 talukas of 14 districts as drought-affected.

Congress is banking heavily on votes from rural areas. The party also believes that the active involvement of Keshubhai Patel by launching Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP) would benefit Congress.

Sonia Gandhi's visit to the state is also likely to boost the morale of Congress party cadres and workers in the state. The 'Gharnu Ghar' scheme for urban women announced by the Congress has already put Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on the defensive.

Sonia Gandhi intervenes, Government put off decision to increase PDS sugar

Congress President and UPA Chairperson proved once again that welfare of aam aadmi is her most important concern. While initiating the schemes like MNREGA, RTE, RTI and food security bills, she has now asked the Central government not to increase the price of sugar distributed under the PDS system. A meeting of the Congress core committee headed by Sonia Gandhi asked the government to put off the decision as of now. Despite Prime Minister Manmohan Singh argued in favour of increasing the sugar prices in the meeting and pointing out that the government has to cut the subsidies to reduce the fiscal deficit, Sonia Gandhi was not in favour of such a move at present.

She was always concerned about the poor and underprivileged. Their pain was her pain. When a massive earth quake jolted Jammu Kashmir, she took time to reach there without any delay to console the victims and extended all her help and support to help the affected people. She expressed her concern and pain when a drastic Tsunami hit Indian coastal areas. Her deep concern for the aggrieved was also seen during the flood in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Himachal, during the terrorist attack in Delhi as well as when a number of persons were killed during the recent riots in Assam.

For Sonia Gandhi politics is not power but a way to serve the people. The perfect example is her refusal of the post of Prime Minister when UPA was voted to power. “I always listen to the voice of my inner conscience. I have said on many occasions that my target is not the Prime Ministership. Today my inner conscience tells me to politely refuse the post” was the statement by the Congress President when asked about her turning down the post of Prime Minister.

Yes Sonia Gandhi is always concerned for the common man and welfare of aam aadmi has always been her mission. As the UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi was instrumental in framing the policies like MNREGA, RTE, RTI and her next target is to get the Right to Food Bill is passed. Sonia Gandhi has been putting in her all sincere initiative for more important schemes and policies for the welfare of aam aadmi.
