Forming govts not sole objective of politics: Sonia
Etawah/Jhansi/Jalaun,
Apr
4:
Congress
president
Sonia
Gandhi
today
said
the
meaning
of
politics
has
been
confined
to
merely
forming
governments,
far
from
its
real
objective
of
public
service.
Addressing
election
meetings
here,
Ms
Gandhi
warned
the
changed
dynamics
of
politics
would
only
spell
disaster
for
the
country.
''It
is
the
need
of
hour
to
pursue
politics
by
rising
above
the
considerations
of
caste
and
religion...Forming
governments
is
not
the
sole
objective
of
politics,''
she
added.
Ms
Gandhi
blamed
the
non-Congress
governments
in
Uttar
Pradesh
for
the
present
''dismal
development
situation.''
''Terror,
hunger
and
criminalisation
has
spread
everywhere
in
UP,
instead
of
development
and
prosperity,''
she
added.
Ms
Gandhi
asked
the
people
to
vote
for
Congress,
if
they
want
"peace
and
prosperity." Interestingly,
She
put
the
blame
on
the
Mulayam
Singh
Yadav
government
for
the
current
spate
of
high
prices
and
inflation.
