Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi had
recently addressed various campaign rallies in Gujarat. In all her addresses,
her main focus was development and welfare. She never indulged in any personal
attacks.
Sonia Gandhi had said “I am happy to see such greenery here.
Indira Gandhi had also come here and met you people. This land has given great
leaders like Jhinabhai Darji and Jugatram Dave, who devoted their lives working
for tribals. This land also had given Gujarat its first tribal chief minister
Amarsinh Chaudhary.
Sonia Gandhi also had dismissed the Modi government’s
development claims and said they were hollow and false. “This is a land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar
Patel who used to preach what they practised. Now there are people who give big
advice but not follow them,” she said taking on Modi without naming him.
Sonia Gandhi once again raised the issue of suicides by
farmers, unavailability of Narmada water, pending electricity connections,
unaffordable housing, health and education. “Now they talk of filling all dams
in Saurashtra with Narmada water. What did they do in the past 10 years.
Manmohan Singh-led government has done everything to make sure project got
implemented, but the present state government failed to bring Narmada waters to
Saurashtra, which is shameful,” said Sonia Gandhi.
