Sonia Gandhi on visit to Rae Bareli, will discuss problems of India
She asked regional leaders to think India before arriving at her constituency
Sonia Gandhi said she will discuss all the problems in India in her Rae Bareli visit. The problems involve rising Jaylalitha's dominance in Tamil Nadu, falling tourist arrivals in Kerala and how to capture Madhya Pradesh constituency in the next assembly elections.
"What is the logic in discussing those similar problems with villagers? How can I fit a water connection for their toilets and what is there if they are not getting electricity? Shall I send it from my house? How stupid is it? I feel that regional problems are just narrow mindsets and we have to think more national and if possible global too. See how rising unemployment is hurting Greece and how aged people are becoming stress for Spain. I will talk to my constituency people that they should become more macro and think national and international. Discussing those same problems which were there last time of the elections is such an stupid idea," said Sonia Gandhi to the reporters.Sonia Gandhi will arrive on a two-day visit to her parliamentary constituency Rae Bareli on Thursday. While first day program was few inaugarations such as Firoz Gandhi Degree College and attending Iftar party, she said that next day don't talk with her on stupid issues such as drainage problems and pot holes on the roads.
"How will it help yaar? Think big and behave big, you will find these are the petty issues," she said.
