“Who can forget the efforts of late Sh. Rajiv Gandhi to
develop the Dahej region which is now considered to be one of the biggest
industrial areas? More development works are in progress in this region as some
roads are going to be converted as National highways soon” had said Sonia
Gandhi, the Congress President and UPA Chairperson while addressing a mammoth
Congress rally in Mandvi recently during her campaign for Congress in Gujarat.
During her campaign, the Congress President took on the Modi-led BJP government in the
state and said that the people are fed up with the present state government. “I
know that people are fed up with this
government and Gujarat now needs new direction and that can be provided only by
the Congress” said the Congress President and assured “we will work with
sincerity, honesty, determination and commitment to fulfill the promises made
in the Congress manifesto and will bring in radical development in Gujarat”
Striking an emotional chord with the people in the region
Sonia Gandhi said “We have been maintaining a good relationship with the
Southern Gujarat. I will never forget the support and affection you had
extended to Indira Gandhi when she was passing through a bad phase in her
political career in 1977. Our critics are trying to weaken our relationship but
have failed. I salute your commitment and honesty and assure you that we will
maintain this healthy relationship with you forever”.
Listing the pathetic state of affairs of the Adivasis in the
region, the Congress President continued “The people of Southern Gujarat are
polite, honest and hardworking. But
still, why there is so much poverty in this adivasi dominated area? Why there
are no improvements in the life and financial condition of adivasis in the
state? The BJP government in the state
has been talking loud about the 15000 cr worth Van Bandhu Kalyan Yojana. But where has the money gone? Where are the
facilities promised by the BJP government to the Adivasis in the state?”
