Letter
to the Editor
 A
Symbol of Service
In
the Lok Sabha elections-2004, the Indian voters accepted
Soniaji. But at that moment of glory, she humbly declined
the high office of Prime Minister, choosing to follow her
"inner voice". It was a show of courage and commitment
to the nation. Soniaji is the glue that holds the Congress
party together. This is the reason why the foreign origin
factor of Soniaji has become so important for the BJP. By
renunciation, Soniaji has proved all of them wrong that
she was power-hungry. Moreover, she has restored the faith
of the people of the country in a pluralistic polity. Soniaji
has lessons to teach not merely the politicians, but also
to the power-hungry people at various places; she has introduced
moral principles into the blood-stream of Indian politics.
A
nation is not only led by it sleaders, it lives through
its leaders' ability
to breathe life into it. Soniaji has understood that the
key to governance is to strive for the welfare of the people.
The
words Soniaji said still reverberate in my ears when she
said, "I have always said that personal power and positions
are not my objectives but performing duties in a spirit
of true service and trustworthiness and placing the country
and the people before itself."

Delhi:
Unfinished Task
Delhi
has seen a sea-change after the coming of Congress to power
in Delhi Government and the Corporation. I would like to
congratulate Delhi Chief Minister, Smt. Sheila Dikshit for
giving the people of Delhi the much-needed flyovers and
for implementing the Metro train project efficiently.
However,
there are some areas where the Delhi government needs to
pay attention. The open drains, which are running through
the city and are a perennial health hazard, should be covered
to complete the beautification of the Capital.

Rajasthan
Govt. Failed
The
BJP government in Rajasthan has proved a failure on all
fronts. The law and order situation in the state is deteriorating
rapidly. Corruption is rampant. Atrocities on women is on
the increase. There is fear among scheduled castes and scheduled
tribes. Recently, the state police gunned down farmers who
were demanding water for irrigation in Sriganganagar in
which four farmers lost their lives and dozens of them got
injured. This government should thus be dismissed immediately.

Congress
Will Win in Jharkhand Too
The
way Congress alliance has won Assembly polls in Arunachal
Pradesh and Maharashtra, it will achieve a glorious victory
in Jharkhand because Congress president, Smt. Sonia Gandhi
played decisive role in the formation of this state.
In
the last Lok Sabha elections the Congress alliance bagged
13 out of 14 seats due to the charismatic leadership of
Smt. Sonia Gandhi. No panchayat and municipal elections
have been held so far after the formation of the state and
thus the dreams of Rajiv Gandhi are yet to be fulfilled.
The Central government should intervene and see that panchayat
and municipal elections are held at the earliest as the
BJP government seems not
interested
in holding these elections.
