    Congress will ensure "incredible" governance if voted to power in UP: Sonia

    Allahabad, Feb 9 (ANI): Congress President Sonia Gandhi has promised "incredible" governance if her party is voted to power in Uttar Pradesh.

    Addressing a rally here on Wednesday, Gandhi said that her party would take all possible measures to ensure that Uttar Pradesh takes to the path of growth.

    "Congress Party is struggling to make Uttar Pradesh a better state. We are contesting elections here so that we can help it to scale new heights of development and progress. We are fighting elections to restore the prestige of Uttar Pradesh. The Congress Party fulfils the promises, which it makes. The Congress Party has already started working on the promises that it had mentioned in its manifesto," Gandhi added.

    She further said that the party had launched several welfare schemes for the poor and minority groups.

    "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, The UPA Government has started the MNREGA scheme to provide hundred days of employment to poor people in villages. In order to provide such basic amenities as electricity, roads and housing, we have started the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)," she said.

    " In order to provide electricity to every house in villages, we have started the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana. In order to provide medical facilities in villages, National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has been started by us," she added.he also accused the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) of siphoning off money given by the Central Government to the Uttar Pradesh Government.

    Expressing concern over the state's deplorable condition, Gandhi said: "Looking at the current serious situation of the state, I hope that you will once again trust the Congress party and you will help our candidates win with huge margin. I assure you that we will always protect your trust." (ANI)

      What a pity? People even gather to hear such speeches? This party should be totally outcasted and barred from contesting any election for ever.

        Isn't it a desperate effort to be in power so that the black money stashed abroad will be protected for the dynasty? The crowd are paid lot for the gathering from this ill acquired loot. Why are they not publicly declaring that no member of the dynasty ha s any account with the the foreign banks.

      And the mega scandals like 2G,CWG,Adarsh Society(List is quite long) etc. type scandals would be part of that 'incredible' government in UP also.The poor people of UP,who were suffering from Mullah Mulayam's GOONDAGARDI and corrupt Mayawati's corruption and STATUTEGIRI will have taste of corruption of the Congress also.The poor suffering people of UP will have to keep all tese point in mind while pressing choice button on the EVMs.

      If Sonia Gandhi talks of better governance in UP why can't she ensure the same at the centre ? She is unwilling to take responsibility of the multiple scams which her government is involved in . How will she ever take responsibility in UP if her government does not deliver ?

      An old saying that a country/institution which does not give justice to its people or which does not regard its learned ones, gets ruined sooner or later. A very strong corruption control law is most needed in whimsical judiciary and academics as documented herein. IITs NOT BEING WORLD CLASS INSTITUTIONS because it is well on record that IIT Roorkee’s once famous Civil Engineering Department had about a dozen full fledged professors who could never earn a Ph.D. degree or publish any significant research papers despite their best efforts and fullest administrative backing and this fact was well known to the Ministry of Education (now MHRD) who never viewed this truth with any kindness. On top of this, the academic administration of this IIT (the oldest former technical Higher Learning University of India/Asia), backed also by such non-PhD jealous virus professors, sabotaged (including plagiarizing) the research work of the highly internationally renowned professor colleague through all kinds of possible illegal actions manifested by as many as 20 to 30 writ petitions filed to nullify the illegal actions repeatedly taken without any regard of natural justice. These are well recorded facts also known to the MHRD. If an institutional index (integrated effect of the various Institutional components including the credentials of the faculty) or teacher/faculty index (integrated effect of the research potential, teaching ability, qualifications, etc of every faculty member) for all IITs are worked out and compared with world class Institutions, then the truth will come out. Merit is totally disregarded in the Indian system as manifested by the fact that India is branded as a developing third world country despite the fact that it has the highest manpower of highly qualified hard working genius persons in almost all disciplines in the entire world or on world basis. Thus the smaller but merit minded countries defeat us in cricket, diplomacy etc. Numerous examples will show that the merited ones in India will find their habitat only in the dust-bins. If India can rise above caste, region, and relative considerations and sincerely rely on merit then alone the IITs would become world class Institutions. A research paper entitled “A NEW METHOD OF EVALUATING TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH TEACHERS’ by Prof. Devendra S. Bhargava, published in the International Journal for Development Technology, England, Vol.5, 1987 pp.27-38, contents of which were comprehensively highlighted by the PTI news flash, can be of great help to compare the various IITs, their faculty, and their nearness to the world class. An Institution’s three main pillars, viz. the faculty, the students and the reputation are interdependent. This is proved by the fact that now the best students do not opt for Roorkee IIT which was in news for vulgar activities too. This Institution also manipulated to pass a twice failed student apart from allowing students to pressurize their teacher to give 90% marks sometime back. A recent case example manifests glorifies and testifies this aspect when the Hon’ble UttraKhand High Court at Nainital upheld (after intensive arguments) a reply to a RTI query made in the year 2007 that “an information pertaining to the year 1994 was more than twenty years old in the year 2007” (vide the Writ Petition No.726 of the year 2008) and such a whimsically arbitrary judgment could be given because the Hon’ble courts in India are not obliged to give reasons for their decision or judgment.

        Very true. The honest and the deserving ones are the ones who are suffering in this country. Congress is the bacteria that has infested all the Govt.machinery.

      Even after the epic spectrum scam, Congress is still in alliance with DMK. Isn't this one example enough to understand how corrupt Mrs.Sonia is?

      Why Rahul & Sonia are this much Crazy for vote ? We Indian have never done any MOE with their family to vote for them as long as some one survives in their family. Let us monitor other party like BJP. As SP & BSP are both partner in UPA Government in centre so voting for BSP & SP is as good as voting for congress .We should vote anti congress else we are digging our own grave by giving our power for looter who has looted this nation. See the face of Rahul how he looks quite devil in 1st sight corruption is in his blood and mind we are in huge pain due to exploitation By Gandhi family last from 65 yrs. We should be focusing on the service of other party in terms of uplifting of the common man instead of selected people as congress does ,
      BJP always focus on Exclusive progress See the State like Chatitsgad,Madhya Padesh,Himchal Pradesh,Uttranchal,Punjab,Karnatak,Gujrat how the common people are Progressing their lively hood.
      This is high time for UP People come our of their ignorance and use their vote wisely rather then tribly

      Schemes under the names of Lawaharlal Nehru , Rajiv Gandi. ha ha ha ha. If BSP was looting then where were you and what did you to prevent it ? You had kept our PM busy to serve you as a servant in 10 Janpath, then how could we have our Govt.machinery function properly when your Congress has corrupted all the Govt.machinery. You are doing everything and blaming others. Now,India wants to see the end of Congress--the biggest chor
