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.
