Sonia Gandhi praises Dr Shivakumara Swami jee for his service to society and education

Congress President Sonia Gandhi attended the 105^th birthday celebrations of the highly respected Lingayat seer Shivakumara Swami at 'Siddaganga Mutt' at Tumkur in Bangalore and paid respects to the seer.

“There lots of institutions under Dr Swami jee. Its achievements in the field of education are outstanding. Thousands of boys and girls from poor families are given free food, shelter and schooling. Its colleges and institutions of higher learning have acquired a national reputation” said Sonia Gandhi.

Striking an emotional chord with Karnataka, the Congress President said “Over the past century, Karnataka has given birth to many radical social reformers who have transformed the very fabric of our society. Foremost amongst them is Shri. Bhasaveswara, who advocated the cause of a casteless society, who championed the cause of equality of opportunity, who fought tirelessly for social justice, almost 900 years ago. His teachings have a profound influence on millions including the Siddaganga Mutt and continue to resonate and to be relevant even today”.    

Sonia Gandhi also said that education is about academic learning and about acquiring qualifications to ultimately find security and fulfillment in life. “But surely there has to be something deeper, something more basic to education if it is to serve as an effective instrument of nation building. And that something is values - moral values,” stressed Sonia Gandhi.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday who addressed various Congress rallies in Punjab said that the present Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in Punjab is not properly utilizing the funds sent by the Centre and slammed the state government for pushing the state from number one to twelfth position in India.

During her address Sonia Gandhi said: " In the last five years, the Akali Dal-BJP Government in Punjab has created such a condition that the state, which was at the number one position once upon a time, has now slipped to the 12th position."

Sonia Gandhi continued, "Akali Dal-BJP Government had to borrow money from the government employees to pay them wages. The policies of this state government have affected the agriculture badly”. “The industries are moving out of Punjab causing unemployment. As a result the youth here are becoming victims of drugs," said Sonia Gandhi.

 "The atrocities are on the rise on the women. The condition of the health sector is very poor. The aam aadmi does not have the safety because of the worsening law and order situation," added the Congress President.

"Congress has done a lot for Punjab. Dams, canals and powerhouses were first built here. But now, the condition is not the same. There is no electricity for the farmers and the common man, " concerned Sonia Gandhi.
