Revolt will not hit Cong: Sonia Hisar, February 26 Talking to mediapersons before
embarking on the second leg of her two-day Haryana road-show here this
morning, she said: “Yeh accha hua hai. At the time of elections the
loyalty and commitment of party leaders and workers is tested. The
Congress will in no way weaken if opportunists leave it at this
stage”. Mrs Gandhi who arrived here late last night from Bhiwani said
she had been overwhelmed by the response of people of Haryana. She said
she had received similar response in Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. “It has
been a very touching experience”, she said when asked about how she felt
after touring these states. The Congress president’s first stop today
was at Behbalpur village where she interacted with a group of women who
complained that their main concern was inflation which it made it
difficult for them to run the household. “The Congress will solve all
your problems,” she told them. Mrs Gandhi, however, did not alight from
her vehicle. She stopped at Barwala where she was received by MLA Jai
Parkash. She got down from the vehicle there and briefly addressed the
crowd. She only had time to say: “ I am grateful for your love and
affection and I need your blessings”. At several other stops on the way
she stepped out of the vehicle to seek the blessings of elderly Congress
supporters. She was accompanied, among others, by HPCC chief Bhajan
Lal, Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Ms Shelja. Mr Bhajan
Lal and Mr Hooda were trying to convey that the Haryana Congress was
united. Mrs Gandhi evoked good response in the district as she had done
in Faridabad, Jhajjar and Bhiwani yesterday. |

Sonia migratory bird: Sangma New
Delhi, February 26 “The Congress has no right to call Dr Heptullah an opportunist or migratory bird when their leader herself has migrated from a foreign country”, Mr Sangma told mediapersons. He said Dr Heptullah was the country’s most respected leader abroad in recent times and “she has every right to join any party to continue in active politics”. Criticising the Congress for its “anti-people policies”, Mr Sangma exuded confidence that the voters of the North-East would favour
the North-East People’s Front (NEPF), a forum formed under the
leadership of Mr Sangma, in the Lok Sabha elections.  |
