Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday has praised the performance of the Assam government led by the Congress and the Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi.
Sonia Gandhiwho attended the function to mark the first anniversary celebration of the third consecutive term of the Congress government in the state, met the state's Congress leadership also.
The Congress President said that when Gogoi assumed power, Assam was in shambles, and credited the incumbent government for the turnaround. "Eleven years back, when Tarun Gogoi formed the government, the state treasury was empty, there was not enough money to pay the salaries of government employees, development work was halted, there were no schemes, roads were broken, and power cuts were a normal thing. Also, people were scared to step out of their houses after sunset," Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi added that militancy in the state had come down and that whatever groups were involved in violent activities would soon give up violence. The Congress leader also said that the state had taken major steps to improve education facilities in the province.
"Assam is the first state in the country which has given a computer to every student in high schools. There are many institutes for higher studies that have opened of late. These ensure that young men and women will lead a successful life and have a bright future," said Sonia Gandhi.
