Ratua (WB), May 04: Seeking to turn the tables on her
foreign origin issue, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today
aid the people had the right to know who would succeed Prime
Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as he had recently said his
successor's name had been finalised.
"If the Prime Minister knows who his successor is, the
people have a right to know who it is," she told an election
meeting at the samsi college grounds here in North Bengal's
Malda district.
The Congress president, in her brief 11-minute speech,
said it had become very difficult to understand what Vajpayee
was saying 'these days' as "the prime minister says something
different and contrary every day."
Stating that crores of rupees had been spent on 'India
shining' advertisement by the BJP, she asked "but what is the
real achievement?"
NDA's achievement, Gandhi alleged, was record corruption
in the past six years, including the infamous coffin scam.
Gandhi said that BJP stalwarts who had distanced themselves during the freedom struggle could never do anything good for the people.
She alleged it was the BJP which had opposed all development projects taken up during the prime ministerships of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.

If the Congress came to power at the Centre than the
problems of unemployment, that of farmers and weaker sections
would be given top priority, she said.
