9 December 2012

Birthday being celebrated by congress party members all over India.

She is an Italian with name Antonia Edvige Albina Maino. Married Rajiv Gandhi in 1968 and became an Indian in due course. Entered politics long after the death of Rajiv Gandhi. Brought Congress party back into power. Leading Congress party as its President. She is to be appreciated for her leadership as she brought Congress back into power. Any person who leads her party in opposition to power needs to be appreciated for leadership ability and skill. You can't give credit to others for the victory without first giving it to the leader who guided the party. Without that person, party lost the election and with that person party won the election.

No doubt because she is not in the ministry, she is not that much visible to the public. Her speeches on policies of the government also may not be many. But, as for the news report all controversies and problems are finally handled by her. There was no dearth of controversies and problems in the two terms of Congress party rule so far from 2004.
