Congress hopeful of victory in 3 poll-going states

New Delhi, Sept 14: The Congress today said it would win the forthcoming Assembly elections in Maharashtra, Haryana and Arunachal Pradesh on the strength of the good governance provided by the incumbent governments of the party.

"The choice of the electorate in the three states is stark and clear," AICC Spokesman Abishek Manu Singhvi told mediapersons, pointing out that there was indeed a pro-incumbency factor in all the three states.

"We have given good governance at all levels," he said.

In this context, he claimed that the special Unique Selling Proposition of the Congress in the three states was its approach of inclusive governance and growth oriented and non-divisive approach.

During the Congress-led rule in Maharashtra, the state had achieved the rare distinction of retaining high per capita income which is higher than the national average.

Citing the state's achievement in education and literacy, Dr Singhvi said the government's rural electrification programme was a success story.

"The choice of the people of Maharashtra is stark - one between the parametres of a good governance and the other of the divisiveness of the parties which lived in middle and stone ages, whether it is BJP or Shiv Sena," he added.

On the party's poll prospects in Haryana, he said the Congress had turned the state into one with the second highest per capita.

"In a sense, it is Bangalore of the North," he said about Haryana, adding it was the third largest exporter of software.

Dr Singhvi said the Congress government at the Centre had announced one of the largest packages to Arunachal Pradesh to strengthen and augment the border areas. UNI

INC's joke

Madam,

The promise of Women's Reservation Bill in 100 days was clearly a hoax played by the INC and its allies.

Far from executing the bill within the promised time frame, the INC and its allies have not even tabled the bill.

The citizens had some hope that women would be given preferences as the Congress is headed by a woman. This is the same party that gave us a woman president and a Speaker. But this looks just symbolic gifts from the party.

Many instances have shown that INC does not actually believe in promoting women leadership.

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, out of the 443 candidates declared by the Congress, the party pitched only 40 women candidates.

And for the coming assembly election of our state, less said that better. INC has announced only two women as its candidates in the first list of 56 candidates. Of the four remaining seats, there is only one woman contender.

In the state like ours where people are extremely loyal to ruling Government, INC shouldn’t have had much difficulty in implementing policies and ideas they say they believe in.

Let us wait and watch what women voters got to say in the coming assembly election.

Yours,

Kasap Bagra

An appeal for change

Madam,

A change we need, a change we crave for, a change that was shown to us by some leaders quite some time ago, a change that would mould the future of every Arunachalee in days to come, a change that come only through the youth of the state, a change which every youth should realize that they are the future torch bearer of the society. If they realize this, they are to come out of the shadow to show the paths and lead the society.

We are tired of the fact, the society is now stranded and the politics is going on as usual. Though the change has already started, but in minute and too narrow to visualize.

The kind of change we crave for will come if the youth of the state are ready to take the charge, ready to motivate, guide the masses.

We are leaving the destiny of the Capital Complex in the hands of the youths to speed up the process of change, so that we can have a better capital and a better Arunachal.

Yours,

Takio Mohan Tarh,VP

Clarification

Madam,

The news item published in your esteemed daily on Sept 8 last regarding prohibitory order U/S 144 CrPC in Hapoli township by district magistrate following a group clashes between the supporters of two political parties was false and fabricated. In fact it was clash between the members of 32KM NLCPR Contractors Association, Ziro and the supporters of a prominent political leader Padi Richo for objection to LOC demand as well as the payment of the contractors. The Association requests the innocent peace loving people not to be misguided.

The Association in a meeting held on Sept 6 had adopted many important resolutions and done accordingly. All contractors resolved to remain unified till payment/completion of above project.

Yours,

Bullo Habung, ACP

Chairman, 32KM NLCPR
