Letter to the Editor

Fruitful Service

I am happy to know that Congress Sandesh has completed its seventh year of successful publication. On this happy occasion, I congratulate the members of the editorial board and team and contributors for seven years of eventful and fruitful service to the nation and the party.

Over the years, Sandesh has not only become the mouthpiece of the Congress party, amply reflecting its policies, views and initiatives but also highlighting in proper perspectives issues vital to the progress and prosperity of the nation. The magazine, the brainchild of our leader Smt. Sonia Gandhiji, has also become the voice of the common man.

I convey my best wishes on the auspicious occasion and earnestly hope that the magazine will continue to play a more effective role in further strengthening the nation and the party in the days ahead.

- Tarun Gogoi
Chief Minister, Assam

A Beautiful Journal

Congress Sandesh is a beautiful journal which highlights the ideology of the Congress party. The magazine gives details of party cadre activities, articles and aims and objective of the party. Articles on Sarva Dharma Sambhav, non-violence, amity, secularism, democracy, our ancient civilization and our enriched culture are inspiring, informative and useful.

I think apart from articles by political personalities, the magazine should also carry articles by successful retired personalities from industrial, professional, social, cultural and administrative services. This will give a new direction to the thinking of the readers and at the same time will make the magazine more interesting.

Commitment and Credibility

The historic Employment Guarantee Act will not only benefit 15 crore families in the backward region on the country but will entitle each family a guarantee of 100 days of job. This act has transformed the curse into a blessing. The Act conveys the message of commitment and credibility of the Congress Party.

It was through the strong will-power of Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh and the rigid resolve of Smt. Sonia Gandhi that has made it possible.

The Act will not only be instrumental in removing social and economic disparity but at the same time will create economic and basic infrastructure. This will lead to poverty eradication and create self-confidence among the poor villagers. This Act brings hope into the lives of 5 crore unemployed youth in the country. Thanks to Smt. Sonia Gandhi and the UPA Government.

Former Minister, Rajasthan

The Right Step

Smt. Sonia Gandhi has again demonstrated her wisdom by appointing Chaudhary Bhajan Lal as the PCC president of Haryana. This will create a balance between the Party and the Government. Similarly, the appointment of Dr. Ram Prakash as working president is a step in the right direction in giving representation to all sections of society.
