Sonia Gandhi has real passion towards India

This year also the birthday of Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi went on calmly. She always has been reluctant to celebrate her birthday. At a time when political leaders waste lots of money for their birth day bash and for other similar occasions, here comes a different leader who always considers it improper to engage in unnecessary extravaganza.

For Sonia Gandhi politics is a way to serve the people. She was always concerned about the poor and underprivileged and the children. The Gandhi-Nehru family is known to the sacrifice for the nation. They always found it supreme to serve the people and the country. Sonia Gandhi proved that she also finds it important to serve the Nation than anything else. “Sacrifice for the nation is not the tradition of politics but it is the culture of our nation, the culture to serve the human kind” said Sonia Gandhi once. “31 years back I came to India as a bride of Rajiv Gandhi. And now I will spend my life till my last in this country and nobody can take away this right from me”. This shows her real passion towards India.

As chairperson of the National Advisory Committee and the UPA chairperson, she played an important role in making the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Right to Information Act into law.  She also actively involved in framing policies like Mid-day meal scheme for the school children, Right to Education, Anti Communal-ism Bill and Food security Bill. Sonia Gandhi is also keen to get the Women Reservation Bill implemented. Women empowerment has always been Sonia Gandhi’s main focus.

Now Gujarat election campaigning is going on. Sonia Gandhi led from the front and attended several rallies in the state. At a time, most of the opposite leaders engages in launching personal attacks, Sonia Gandhi never indulged in such narrow practices. She always focused on development, welfare of aam aadmi and progress of the nation. For Sonia Gandhi, the common man, the poor, tribals and underprivileged are the prime concern. As UPA Chairperson, she always took initiatives to press the Congress-led central government to frame pro-people policies and the country witnessed many welfare schemes under the present congress-led government.

On many occasions Sonia Gandhi recalled late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her husband and late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi highlighting their efforts for the development of the country and welfare of the people. She followed their footsteps and focused on common people’s problems and pains. And whenever she found that her intervention is required Sonia Gandhi never hesitated to do so. When today’s leaders move away from the people Sonia Gandhi and her son – Congress General Secrertary Rahul Gandhi - always tried to strike chord with the aam aadmi.
