Letter to the EditorDismiss Raje Govt.The people of Rajasthan are fed up with the BJP government in thestate for its mal-administration. Few days back the farmers in Tonk,who were demanding water in a democratic way, were fired upon.Five farmers died and dozens were injured. Earlier, farmers werefired upon by the police when they too were demanding water toirrigate their field. This attitude of the BJP government in the stateshows that it is anti-farmers. This government had also increasedthe rates at which electricity is supplied to farmers. These farmershad brought victory for BJP during the last assembly elections byvoting for them and now the same BJP Govt. is giving them bulletsin return. Secondly, the law and order situation in the state hasdeteriorated and corruption is also flourishing. Therefore, thisgovernment in Rajasthan should bedismissed immediately.- Pusa Ram Chauhan,Bidasar, Churu, RajasthanMajor AccomplishmentThe UPA Government, under thePrime Ministership of Dr. ManmohanSingh, in its one-year of governancehas heralded a new phase ofdevelopment in the country. One ofthe major accomplishment of thisgovernment is the termination ofcommunal violence that madeheadway during the NDA regime.Moreover, far reaching strides havebeen achieved in our foreign affairswith the consolidation of ties withPakistan and China. In domesticsector also the common man isgradually benefiting from the variousprogrammes and policies initiated bythe UPA Government. I feel, thisgovernment under the chairmanshipof Smt. Sonia Gandhi will definitely set a precedent in the sphere ofgovernance and will live upto the trust of the people who voted thisgovernment to power in the last general election.- Bishal Das,JNU, New DelhiCredit to Sonia Gandhi, Arjun & PMUttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) congratulates UPAChairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Union HRD Minister, Shri Arjun Singhand Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh for their efforts in pavingthe way to granting Allahabad University a Central University status.The inclusion of all the associated Degree Colleges, MLN MedicalCollege, SRN Hospital, Kamla Nehru Hospital, GB Pant Social ScienceInstitute, Engineering College and other prestigious institutions inthe Allahabad University fold has given room for overall developmentand progress of Allahabad.- Kishore Varshney,AllahabadWrong PracticeThe Samajwadi Party’s birth in Karnataka took place on the 5 th ofJune after its state president, Shri Bangarappa won in the justconcludedby-election held for Shimoga seat. Due to some negligenceof our party leaders and for not taking into confidence the youthsand the minorities we have lost both the by-elections giving way toSamajwadi Party’s birth and also JD(S) has opened its account inBangalore by winning the Chamrajpet election. Its time that ourleaders take initiatives in building up the party specially the YouthCongress by consulting the localleaders and also the senior Congressworkers. Of late our leaders areencouraging only those with moneypower as well as those who are alwayswith them serving either their familiesor their kith and kin. I strongly condemnthis so that in future our leaders takeinto the confidence Congress workersand ignore those who have come fromthe other party␣␣just before electionsfor their personal gains.- Abdul Wajed,President, Bangalore (North),Youth CongressA SYMBOL OF HUMBLE-NESSPraise be to you, Smt. Sonia Gandhiand blessed be your parents. The Godalmighty has honoured you to havewedded to Rajiv Gandhi and tocontinue the task left behind by him.It is destiny that brought you to India and to the Gandhi family toserve the people and the Congress party in particular. You are asymbol of humbleness and sacrifice because what you haverelinquished, no other person in this world would ever think of doingso. Your children too are a gift to India. Rahul Gandhi, has become ayouthful MP from Amethi and is loved by all in the party. I pray thatGod showers his blessings on you and your family to lead theCongress party in the interest of the people and the progress of thenation. The way Shri Rahul Gandhi has taken up the cause of thepeople in his parliamentary constituency will be aped by our otheryoung leaders of the party. I wish him long life and pray that he leadsthe nation from the fore in the very near future.- Srichand Makhija,Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi2Congress SandeshJuly, 2005

ThePrime Minister’s speech reflected anobjective assessment of both the good andthe bad of British Colonialism. It certainlydid not condone colonial rule. The Prime-Minister rightly pointed out the economicexploitation that underlay the colonialenterprise. But he was rightly able to pointout the inadvertent positive aspects ofcolonial rule. The critical look that Indianswere able to make of their own culture andsome of its more unequal structures ofcaste and gender. It also gave us thebenefits of a secular and stableconstitutional Democracy.Attacking the Prime Minister’s speechthought, the BJP, would help deflectattention from the mess their own PartyPresident is in for his speech on Jinnah.Just like Mr. Advani thought championingthe cause of the Ram Mandir would againwin him back his Hindu backers. Alas thatdoes not seem to be the case. Mr.Advaniis still facing harsh criticism from the RSSand one wonders what will change, the BJPpresident, or their ideology. Or is this justanother ploy of the BJP’s attempt to returnto power as a non-sectarian party.
