Obama Visit to Underscore the IMPORTANCE of India as GLOBAL Leader! Another Twist in War against Terror as Nato  Grants Safe Passage for TALIBAN as the AMERICAN WAR in AFGANISTAN is LOST!With 187 votes in its bag, India has received the highest number of votes for getting into the United Nations Security Council in the past five years, according to Indian diplomat.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi said the UPA government would soon provide food security for all, especially the poor. She said this at a huge rally to mark the 125th year of the Congress at Sewagram in Wardha district in eastern Maharashtra. Sewagram was chosen as the venue for the rally because
Mahatma Gandhi lived here for a decade in the 1930s. The rally, attended by more than 100,000, was held 300 metres from Bapu Kuti, the hut in which the Mahatma lived. Sonia said the Congress-led UPA government had launched several welfare schemes for the 'aam admi' such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, loan waivers for distressed farmers and the right to education to ensure basic education for all children.
"Now we are coming out with a food security bill that will give food guarantee to all, especially the poor," she said. "But merely law cannot change the system and lifestyle of the people. We should ensure honest implementation of such schemes," she said, asking people to thwart corruption in such welfare schemes.
She also asked people to uphold secular principles and reject narrow-minded politics based on caste, language and religion as these debilitate the country's social fabric.

Stating that the Congress had taken upon itself the task of ensuring secularism and development, she said, "Violence, divisive politics by invoking caste, religion, region and language weakens the society which in turn hampers development."

The UPA chairperson said the land of the Mahatma and Acharya Vinoba Bhave had inspired the people to hold secular principles in high esteem.

This, she said, was key to India becoming a superpower — if each village follows these principles.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday asked people to uphold secular principles and reject parochial politics as it weakens the society and creates roadblocks in the path of development. Addressing a mammoth rally in Sewagram, 80 km away from Nagpur, to mark the conclusion of 'Sadhbhavna week'

and the 'Gram to Sewagram flag march' organised by the Maharashtra Congress, Gandhi said the onus of ensuring secularism and inclusive development rests with Congress.

"Divisive politics by invoking caste, religion, region and language weakens the society which in turn hampers the development," the UPA chairperson said, lauding the efforts of the state unit to mobilise the grass root cadre.

"This is the pious land of Mahatma Gandhi and Acharya Vinoba Bhave and it inspires all of us to uphold secular principles. If each and every village imbibes this sentiments, nobody can stop us from becoming a superpower," she said.

Gandhi asserted that secularism, unity, peace and harmony are the political commitments of her party. Quoting the Mahatma, she said the power captured through violence and force does not last long.

"As we progress towards prosperity and growth, the need of the hour is to imbibe and implement Gandhiji's teachings of brotherhood and peace."
She maintained it was the 125-year-Congress' tradition to sacrifice everything for upholding its principles. "Maharashtra made significant contribution in this aspect."

The AICC chief said Congress practiced politics of serving poor and deprived. She said it was the duty of the Congress workers to take the policies and programmes of the party's government to the last man in the society so that they are implemented well.
"Making programmes and policies like the NREGA, RTI, Right to Education Act, loan waiver to farmers is not enough. It is up to the party workers to make sure that they benefit the needy," she said.

Extending Dusshera greetings to the people, she praised efforts of the state Congress in galvanising the cadre. "It is our duty to protect the aan, baan and shaan (pride and honour) of our flag," she said.
