During interaction Rahul Gandhi took feedback on MGNREGA and also enquired whether they get proper benefit of the scheme. He also asked whether they get the timely payment under MGNREGA. Rahul Gandhi said that UPA Government at the centre sanctions funds under various schemes for the welfare of the people and if the money is not reaching to the people, it is the weakness of the state Government. Late in the night, Rahul Gandhi slept at the local primary school building.

Earlier in the day, to feel the pulse of youths in the economically backward region of Bundelkhand during a camp organised by the Youth Congress in Jhansi, Rahul Gandhi had a detailed interaction for around two and a half hours with the youths on various important issues during Yuva Drishti training camp of the youth wing.

During the interaction he asked the YC cadres to work at the grass roots level, spread awareness among the masses about the government’s version of the Lokpal Bill and Central welfare schemes. The Congress leader made an attempt to know the opinion of the youth on the relevance of Jan Lokpal Bill proposed by Anna Hazare, and also on issues like truth, ahimsa and Satyagraha.

Rahul Gandhi spoke with the youth on the position of candidates in the forthcoming state Assembly elections. He advised the youth how to strengthen the party in the state and ways to progress through good politics while urging them to strengthen the organisation by realising their responsibilities.

Congress: Profiling of Christians in Madhya Pradesh a serious matter

Lately there have been reports that BJP government in Madhya Pradesh has been profiling Christians in that state. Congress has taken this matter as very worrisome and a serious thing. But it was reassured at least formally by the official statements of the DG of Police and Deputy DG who has said specifically that they know nothing about it. The party strongly states that racial, religious, ethnic or personal profiling is not permitted unless authorized under some special law for some special reason. If the BJP state government has not already stopped, it must be stopped forthwith. BJP, its outfits and its party run state government must understand that our country is secular democratic state.  No one, not even state government is permitted to do any discrimination in any manner whatsoever between the people. To do so is illegal. It is unfortunate that parties like BJP and its outfits have been sometimes openly and at other times covertly advocating discrimination based on their parochial ideology.  Congress party is committed not to let them succeed in this vicious enterprise.

Congress condemns BJP for raking up untrue cases

People have come to know that BJP is a negative and a regressive force in this country. It has always practiced the art of preaching without practice. It has consistently followed the principle of seeking power by creating divisiveness. Congress friendly advice is, please learn to be patient. They lost one 5 year mandate 2004. They lost a second 5 year mandate in 2009. The country seeks to know what is the account of the crores of rupees documented by judgments spent on the Bofors case and what do they have to show. What is the result of the crores of rupees spent in recklessly pursuing Bofors case against Congress and the result in 8 years of their rule? Did they get any conviction, then why are they repeatedly using phrases and making allegations, which even to their knowledge are untrue? The country equally wants to know which single conclusion they have achieved in 8 years.

BJP disruption of parliament contrary to all norms of democracy: Congress.

It is utterly regrettable, indeed completely unsupportable that the BJP has been back to its old tactics of disrupting parliament acting contrary to all elementary norms of democracy. They have been pretending to be accusers and it is funny that those against whom they have leveled accusations want to answer them in parliament, discuss issues in parliament but BJP wants parliament not to function. This is unfortunate because every day they can give a new excuse, a new pretence, a new reason and if individuals’ reasons everyday are to be the basis of disrupting parliament, then no parliament can function. This is reprehensible. It is wrong. It is anti-democratic. It is obvious that it is they who have something to hide, if they do not allow the parliament to function, not the Congress. Secondly, BJP has been shifting it stands on daily basis. Yesterday, it was Gujarat, today some interpretation of wikiLeaks, tomorrow it will be a new excuse. Disruptions have to be a non-negotiable issue irrespective of reason, in any case irrespective of such reasons.

Sonia Gandhi intervenes in Rs.32 BPL yardstick

The Planning Commission, supposedly under pressure from Congress President and UPA Chair person Sonia Gandhi and her supporters on the issue, abandoned its earlier definition, virtually dumped its own report on poverty, and came up with a radically new approach to defining the beneficiaries of the government's poverty alleviation programmes, based on caste.

The signal is now clear that Sonia Gandhi is not only back in the public eye, but is clearly back in action and making her position crystal clear on key issues close to her heart. Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia on Monday scrambled to undo the huge embarrassment caused by his controversial new definition of the poverty line, submitted in an affidavit to the Supreme Court earlier. Matters had flared up after the Plan panel recently filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court, stating that any person earning more than Rs 26 a day in rural areas (Rs 32 in urban areas) would not be eligible for the various anti-poverty schemes run by the Centre.

Not just the Opposition, but even ruling Congress party members had lambasted the Commission. Several members of the National Advisory Council, which includes many representatives handpicked by Sonia Gandhi, had also come out publicly with strong criticism of the Commission's definition.

NAC member N. C. Saxena had said, "On Rs 32 a day, you know only dogs and animals can live." Fellow NAC member Aruna Roy, in an open letter to Ahluwalia and other Commission members to live on Rs 26/32 per day "till such time that you are able to explain to the public in simple words the basis of the statement that this amount is normatively 'adequate'. If it cannot be explained then the affidavit should be withdrawn or else you should resign."

The Commission had reached the numbers on the basis of a revised poverty estimation exercise undertaken by the Suresh Tendulkar Committee, which submitted its report to the commission in 2009.

But in a somersault, Ahluwalia said on Monday: "It needs to be emphasised that the Tendulkar poverty line is not meant to be an acceptable level of living for the aam aadmi. It is actually the standard of living of those at the poverty line in 1973-74."

Congress slams NDA government for not caring about unemployed youth.

With the growth rate of the economy declining under the NDA rule, job opportunities ceased to grow at an acceptable rate, leading to an explosive situation on the unemployment front. Yet BJP Prime Minister and his Government chose to juggle figures to present a rosy picture rather than present a comprehensive employment generation plan.  The grave situation of the unemployment scenario in India during BJP regime may be demonstrated by the fact that 7.5 million youth applied for 38,000 vacancies of Gangman and other manual labour positions in the Indian Railways. The applicants included Postgraduates, Management trainees and other professionally qualified youths. Did this grave situation suggest that the NDA Government cared for the unemployed youths at all? No, on the contrary this confirms BJP government did not care for the unemployed youth at all. In fact where was the scope of employment generation while BJP was busy in selling out PSUs which employment could have been easily generated.

Congress has improved the position of women including SC/ST women

Women traditionally constitute the most disadvantaged sections of society. The stress on imunisation, family planning, mental health care, prenatal and postnatal care and general emphasis on sanitation has contributed to better health. Urbanization has to some extent reduced the customary neglect of female infants, which continues to be feature of rural areas. More and more female children have been encouraged to attend school. As a result female literacy rate in urban as well as in rural areas has moved up. It is therefore vital that job opportunities for women need to be expanded and facilities provided to encourage self-employment. Organizing Self Help Groups in rural areas is a step in this direction.  It has benefitted the women both in terms developing their skill and at the same time enabled them to earn handsome income for the family. Congress government is conscious that a situation still remains where women, as in all other places, are vulnerable to exploitation.  Congress is committed to undertake all those steps which ensure can fast improve the position of women.

BJP-led NDA indulged in Rs 15,000 crore HUDCO Scam: Congress

BJP-led NDA was an opportunistic alliance of diverse parties with contradictory ideology and without common programme.  BJP leaders made the most while the government remained in office.  Scams and scandals became rampant.  Public assets and finances were siphoned off systematically by BJP ministers for personal and for the benefits of interested parties. BJP leader and former Urban Development Minister Anant Kumar and other officials allegedly sanctioned loans to the tune of Rs. 14,500 crore without following procedures.  The Supreme Court slapped notice of the BJP Minister. In another case loans worth Rs. 550 crores were written off by the Urban Development Ministry in 2002-03.   In yet other case loans worth Rs. 500 crores were sanctioned to one party on a single day. Gross procedural irregularities cost the exchequer thousands of crores. Even the office and telephone expenses of Anant Kumar had been met by HUDCO according to the petition filed in the Supreme Court.

NDA government ignored welfare of SCs/STs: Congress

While during Congress tenure in government a number of welfare schemes for SCs/STs were implemented, BJP-led NDA government did not care to continue the same work much less extend it further.   The Indian Constitution has provided adequate protective, positive discrimination for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Any government is under an obligation to ameliorate the conditions of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes by making suitable provisions for their education, employment and social justice. Congress government implemented the special scheme of SCP for achieving above objective. Unfortunately under the NDA regime, real per capita budgetary allocation for total SC/ST welfare declined from Rs. 39.2 in 2002-2003 to Rs. 36.9 in 2003-2004. Apart from decreasing funding, the Vajpayee government was a mute spectator when VHP and Bajrang Dal people were massacring Dalits in Jhajjar, Haryana and other parts of country.  This by itself confirms that BJP-led NDA government ignored welfare of SCs/STs during its tenure.
