Sonia Gandhi at Congress Rally in Varanasi

Thanks for welcoming at this rally. Before coming to this rally I went to Swami Swaroopanand Kutir which is symbolic of freedom movement in India. There I paid my tribute to the freedom movement leaders. Thereafter I was to take part in the Congress Convention. But as all of you know due to inclement weather the venue had to be changed. Now all the State Congress leaders are present here. I trust the discussions that took place in the Convention were fruitful. The decisions taken in the Convention will be useful to face challenges that we have to in the coming days and it will give more strength and direction to work effectively.

It is a place of Sants, Bhakts, Poets and learned people. Besides this it has been work place of freedom fighters. The Congress has deep roots in this city. Freedom fighters like Pandit Madan Mohal Malviya to Dr. Sampurnanand to Kamlapati Tripathi of this place served both this state and the nation with distinction.

Rahul Gandhi facilitates agitating farmers meeting with PM

Undeterred by his arrest by Mayawati government for espousing the cause of oppressed farmers of UP at Bhatta Parsaul, Rahul Gandhi, AICC General Secretary today evening once again came forward to facilitate the farmers meeting with the Prime Minister.
"I am very concerned with what is going on in villages of Noida. Severe atrocities took place. People were killed and raped. We discussed it," said Rahul, after meeting the Prime Minister.
"They wanted to meet the PM, so I facilitated this," the Congress General Secretary said. He told that women have been raped and that there is a pile of ashes 70 feet high in the villages of Parsaul and Bhatti. "Severe atrocities are taking place there," he told the reporters.


Last week Rahul Gandhi had reached out to the beleaguered farmers in Bhatta Parsaul village in Greater Noida to know their problems. He moved from house to house to get first hand information. He heard the woeful tales of atrocities committed by the police on the farmers and their families including their women. He saw severe injuries inflicted on the innocent farmers. He had then promised to continue to fight for their cause.

The farmers are agitating for higher compensation for land taken for constructing the 156-km Yamuna Expressway that is to link New Delhi with Agra. Farmers claim that the UP government forced them to sell their land for the project. However, they say that much of the land surrounding the highway is being sold at very high rates to real estate developers who want to put up malls and industrial as also residential projects there. Farmers claim that while the government and the developers will make a significant profit, they have been cheated of their due share.

Congress President in Rae Bareli

Congress president Sonia Gandhi is on two-day visit to Rae Bareli.. She is visiting there to review developmental projects being run there.
In an event organised by the Central government's Women and Child Welfare Ministry at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, she said, “Women comprise half of the population. They possess latent ability. That ability in women needs to be brought out”, she said.
“For the country to attain prosperity it is required that this segment (women) should become happy and wealthy. Our society and the country would attain self-reliance in its real sense only when the women are in a position to tackle their problems on their own”, she further said.

“I believe that my sisters can face any situation. By resolve and self reliance they will move forward shoulder-to-shoulder with their family, society and the country. With their ability and confidence they are equal to any person”, she added.
Women take onerous responsibility of looking after and rearing family. Their ability and contribution must be understood which is important for wholesome development. Success of future generation depends largely on them. Stressing on women's role in nation building, the Congress President said that the UPA government was making every effort to make the country's women self-reliant.
