As the United Progressive Alliance completed 100 days in office, Congress President, Smt. Sonia Gandhi called a meeting of the members of the AICC. The conclave at the Talkatora Stadium was named Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, in memory of the leader who ushered in a new era in Indian economy and polity. Future historians will surely highlight the radical change this youngest Prime Minister of India brought in his just one term in office. The remarkable feature of Rajiv’s contribution was that he changed the entire political outlook of the nation and the purpose of politics through an economic instrument – reforms. His courageous and visionary steps were timely and strong. It was as if the nation was waiting for this great messiah! Indian politics and economics never remained the same after him. Every party and activist in the national and regional political spectrum followed his economic reforms without hesitation. So much so, even a rightist party like the BJP had to adopt Rajiv line to go to the people. Suddenly, socio-economic development through reforms has become the main spirit of every political party. Today no-political party, be it of the Left or the Right, can afford to talk obsolete narrow sectarian causes. What matters to the people is growth with justice and equity, thanks to Rajiv Gandhi. The AICC meeting resolved once again to pursue the path Rajivji had shown.
