Emulate PM, Sonia on N-issue: Rahul
All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Sunday asked party cadre to emulate Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on the nuclear issue.
Addressing the PCC executive at Gandhi Bhavan, the Congress general secretary asked members to motivate the cadre in creating awareness among people on the benefits of the nuclear deal with the US. “Members must create awareness among people by motivating the party cadre on the importance of the nuclear energy and its role in meeting the future energy needs of the country,” he said.
He said it was the responsibility of the party cadre to ensure that various welfare programmes and development schemes being implemented by the UPA government and the state government reached the poor. “You should motivate the cadre in this direction and this will help the party gain confidence of the people. The party cadre should monitor implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and ensure that all eligible farmers receive the benefits of a loan waiver,” he said.
The AICC general secretary was in all praise of the state government for taking up various welfare schemes.
“I have found out that the state government has ensured a balance while delivering the fruits of development in both rural and urban areas. Some of the
schemes are so interesting that we may borrow ideas from the state,” he said and added, “I thank the people of Andhra Pradesh for the support they have been extending to the Gandhi family and the Congress party. My family always had a special attachment with the people of AP. Please extend similar support for the party in the next elections.”
Rahul also interacted with members of various cells of the party and frontal organisations. He participated in a tele-conference with six district unit presidents and inaugurated a set of computers linking the state party office with its district units on the concluding day of his two-day tour to the state.
Chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, party affairs incharge in AP Veerappa Moily, cabinet ministers from the Centre and state, MPs, MLAs and senior leaders were present all through the general secretary’s 110-minute stay. During the interactive session, Rahul Gandhi expressed interest in learning the problems being faced by weavers and assured to convince the PM on sanctioning an exclusive weaver loan-waiver package.
Congress leader M Kodanda Reddy pointed out that farmers were facing shortage of labour due to implementation of NREGS during peak farm season. Some of the party leaders told Rahul Gandhi on the need to take more backward classes (BCs) into confidence in the wake of new political parties likely to take centrestage in the state.
Later addressing a press conference, PCC chief D Srinivas exuded confidence that the party would win the next elections in the state irrespective of an alliance. “People in the state know that Congress alone can fulfill their aspirations,” he said.
