Sonia Gandhi campaigns for Congress for assembly polls 2012 in Almora, Uttarakhand

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while addressing a public rally in Almora, Uttarakhand where assembly polls are round the corner, lashed out at the BJP Government in the state for the rampant corruption and lack of development in the state.
Sonia Gandhi said "I am happy to be here in the culturally rich Almora in Uttarakhand. The great personalities like Swami Vivekanand, Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru had good relation with this historic place. Nehru Ji spent a valuable period of his life in the Alomora jail during the freedom struggle movement. Nehru Ji and our family have a long time relationship with Almora. This land is the birthplace of the great poet Sumitranandan Pant. I take this opportunity to pay my humble respects to that great poet."
"The UPA government at the centre has framed policies for education, health, infrastructure, electricity and water but the expected results are not seen in Uttarakhand. I am sad to see that the policies made to ensure better living conditions for the poor and common man in the country are not being implemented in Uttrakhand properly. The Congress led UPA at the centre is committed to serve the poor and underprivileged. Congress party has been making policies for the welfare of the entire people. We send huge amounts of funds also to the state under various schemes. But the government in Uttarakhand doesn't care to implement these welfare policies properly. It could not effectively utilize the funds sent by the Centre under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA policy by which every poor is ensured with a minimum of 100 days of job at a daily wages of Rs. 100" added Sonia Gandhi.
"The UPA framed policies like Jawahar Lal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, National Rural Health Mission to provide adequate health facilities for the poor, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan to ensure that every children in the age group of 6 to 14 get proper education, Mid-day meal scheme to ensure food to every children in the schools and Gram Sadak Yojana all aiming the benefits of the people. Now we are ready with the food Security Bill to make sure that no one in the country lives in hunger. But the government here in Uttarakhand is not serious to implement these policies in the required manner. Through its discriminatory policies, the BJP government is creating a wedge between the plains and the hilly areas of the state" added Sonia Gandhi.
