    Reacting to BJP's allegation that the Centre was soft on terror, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the UPA government is not only fighting terrorism but also winning on the front.

    "UPA is fighting terrorism and winning. During NDA regime, a minister had accompanied terrorists to Kandahar and the then Government bowed down before terrorists when they hijacked a plane. Congress has not that kind of submission nor it will ever do," Rahul said addressing an election rally in Raipur on Monday.

    He said the BJP is making terrorism an issue as they did not want to answer what they have done on developmental and growth fronts in Chhattisgarh for the last five years.

    "When we ask them what they have done on developmental and growth fronts, they start raising the issue of terrorism," the Congres leader said.

    He termed the UPA government as "Aam Admi Ki Sarkar" and counted the Centre's pro-poor measures such as National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), mid-day meal scheme, farmer's loan waiver programme and tribal land rights Act.

    "The BJP Government in Chhattisgarh should ask itself what it has done for poor people," he said.

    Greeting the crowd by saying "Chhattisgariya Sable Badhiya", Rahul asked the people to consider before voting whether the BJP fulfilled its election promises during the five-year rule.

    UPA will never submit to terrorismBy: Sunit | 18-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Rahul seems to be living in a world of his own. Instead of pointing the faults of others, he should try to reform his own party and remove the partymen, who amassed huge wealth. now, anybody can mobilise crowds to cheer the politicians by throwing money.It does not mean you have a huge following. Terrorism in one issue, where every party failed. Everyone is afraid of losing vote banks. Some states under Congress rule are offering subsidies for everything. The oppostion parties are promising a lot more if they come to power.You can not go on infinitely on such things
    Rahul GandhiBy: D.A.eswar | 18-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Rahul should also tell people Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi died due to terrorism when Congress was in power and for thousands of Sikhs massacred by Congress when Indira died in Delhi . He should know NDA saved lives of 300 airline passengers even though they were forced to exchange few terrorists. Parliament attack terrorists were handed over to Court which has punished with Capital sentence. It is Congress unable to do any thing. On development front also people know how India;s growth during NDA rule is several times better than current UPA Govt Rule.
    rahulji for PMBy: yohan | 18-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward congress should not thrust on the people such inexperienced person, who is not aware of the history of india in real terms. at 35 he enters politics, 36 he becomes MP, 40 he becomes a candidate for PM is ridiculous. he should have started his poltical career in the students wing, then youth wing and then seniors. straight descending on the scene and grooming him to be PM is unfair to the veterans who are in the party. if they want him to take over PMship, they should give him a thorough orientation, instead of sending a fresher to the scene to shout whatever he feels without understanding repercussions. his speech in parliament was also typical of humiliating others, rather than any substance in his or the party's approach. dont think that just because he is a gandhi family member, he is aware of everything.
