Sonia Gandhi to flag off Congress Campaign from Saurashtra

02 Oct 2012 Leave a Comment


The Congress will start its election campaign with farmers’ rally from Saurashtra. The rally will be addressed by national president Sonia Gandhi. Saurashtra has been a BJP stronghold since two decades backed by Patel votes. The ruling party 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.
The rally will test voters mood in Saurashtra region where farmers have suffered crop losses.
Sonia Gandhi who will address rallies in Rakot and Jetpur will seek to remind farmers that it was the 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.

US daily, Washington Post calls PM as a ‘tragic figure’

06 Sep 2012 Leave a Comment


US daily, Washington Post described Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh as “a dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government”.

In its article entitled as “India’s ‘silent’ prime minister becomes a tragic figure”, the Washington Post said Manmohan Singh helped set India on the path to modernity, prosperity and power, but critics say the shy, soft-spoken 79-year-old is in “danger of going down in history as a failure”.

The daily also said, “As India’s economy has slowed and as its reputation for rampant corruption has reasserted itself, the idea that the country was on an inexorable road to becoming a global power has increasingly come into question.”

This came soon after the TIME Magazine termed him as an “Underachiever”.
