BJP looted Kumbh Mela funds also, alleges Sonia Gandhi

Congress President Sonia Gandhi while campaigning for Congress in Uttarakhand blasted the BJP for befooling the people of Uttarakhand by changing the CM. Sonia Gandhi said, BJP is trying to fool the people by changing its Chief Minister here. Nothing has changed; neither loot, nor dishonesty. The people of Uttarakhand want to free the state from BJP."

 Sonia Gandhi urged the people to support and elect Congress Government in the state.

 Sonia Gandhi concerned that only 40 per cent of the money given by Centre for welfare schemes in Uttarakhand have been utilised so far, while hardly 10 per cent of money under MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee) has been spent. "For the last several years, the people of Uttarakhand have been deceived by the ruling party through lies. Their dishonesty and lies now lie in the open. The then chief minister's mask of lies was unmasked during the Kumbh Mela", said the Congress President.

 Sonia Gandhi asserted that the BJP has to be defeated to remove the clouds of danger on Uttarakhand.

 Sonia Gandhi also detailed various schemes brought in by the Congress-led Central Government and assured to remove licences for 'kolhus' in the plains. She also promised that sugarcane prices would be paid promptly to the farmers.

Sonia Gandhi blames Akali Government for the pathetic living conditions in Punjab

Sonia Gandhi expressed her concern for the increasing atrocities against women in Punjab.  The Congress President also argued that the farmers had to throw their potatoes on the roads.  Sonia Gandhi also asserted that the Punjab Government is so steeped in debt and as a result it was not able to pay salaries to its employees.

“This government has done nothing for the poor. The fraud in the name of Atta-Dal scheme is for everybody to see” said Sonia Gandhi.  “Another glaring example is the misuse of Rs. 5000 crores  the Centre  gave to Punjab under the Mahatma Gandhi rozgaar scheme,”   the Congress President said. “I ask the present Government in Punjab, why the people under the poverty line had increased many-fold during the last five years?” said Sonia Gandhi.

Sonia Gandhi flays BJP over rampant corruption in Uttarakhand

Sonia Gandhi – the Congress President and UPA Chairperson - slammed BJP over the large scale corruption and lawlessness in the state of Uttarakhand.

Referring the earlier decision of the BJP to replace Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank with B S Khanduri as the CM, Sonia Gandhi said "It is rampant corruption across the state. BJP leaders do talk against corruption, but the people are well aware what is happening in the BJP ruled states. BJP had to change chief ministers because of corruption. When the corruption case had come out in open, they had to remove the chief minister in Uttarakhand too".

The sharp attack by the Congress President is aimed at undercutting BJP's bid to take the high moral ground on corruption with help of the "clean image" of Khanduri who is seen to have been brought in to control the damage due to `corruption' under his predecessor Nishank. It is also a bid to focus sharply on local corruption when BJP is trying to drag the Centre's scams into the frame.

"The entire development structure is dismantled due to rampant corruption and scams encouraged by the BJP government," Sonia Gandhi told a well-attended an election rally at Almora.
