Letter to Congress Workers

Dear friends,

I am happy to inform you that the response of the people to our party's election campaign is very encouraging. Wherever I went to address meetings I found tremendous enthusiasm among the cross-section of society. Old, young and even children came in great numbers to listen to what we have to say on issues that are bothering the whole nation. And, they stayed through the meetings evincing keen interest in our policies and programmes.

There is undoubtedly enormous goodwill and support for the Congress Party throughout the country. People are appreciating our policies and our principles of good governance that offer the right answers to the problems facing the nation. And our commitment to secularism, democracy and economic equity give the people much comfort. The message we receive is that the Congress Party alone can save the nation from the misrule of the NDA government.

The Congress Party has always treated the peoples' welfare on the top of its agenda. Our commitment to our motto : Congress Ka Haath, Garib Ke Saath is total. This pledge must be redeemed. We can and we shall. But to fulfil this task we need to be united, disciplined and work in concert. An excellent example of this

unity and sense of direction has been witnessed in the Jan Jagran rallies that have been taken out throughout the country. These rallies were a resounding success and injected fresh dynamism in the rank and file. These rallies which included dharnas too at some places have set an important precedent. I appeal to all of you to work in the same spirit of cooperation and solidarity to achieve victory for our party in the five states going to the polls.
