Sonia Gandhi believes: Development cannot be complete till the poor are benefitted

For Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, development means welfare of the poor. If the poor and underprivileged sections of the society are not getting the benefits and they are not able to be a part of the path of progress, we can not claim development, she always believed.

That is why Sonia Gandhi while during her campaigns in Gujarat questioned Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s development claims and listed out various issues in the state.. The Congress President therefore had directed voters to give a befitting reply to falsehoods, discrimination and dictatorship in the coming assembly polls on December 13. "Had the government paid attention, you would not have been facing the hardships that you do today," said Sonia Gandhi.

In her campaigns she also dwelt on lack of water and power shortage in Saurashtra. "We tried hard to bring the Narmada water here with the Sardar Sarovar dam. It seems the BJP government forgot to put a canal system in place," she said.
