Gujarat Congress chief goof up on gandhi memorabilia auction!

While the central Congress leaders jumped to take credit for bringing back Mahatma Gandhi’s belongings from the auction in New York, underplaying liquor baron Vijay Mallya’s role, the Gujarat Congress President Siddharth Patel didn’t even know that the auction was over before hours. For him, the auction had been stalled following Congress party’s efforts!

On Friday, in a press conference at Ahmedabad, Gujarat Congress president Siddharth Patel said, “The auction has been stalled due to our(Congress) efforts and appeal to the Indian External Affairs Ministry.”

Aghast, journalists present at the press conference interrupted Gujarat Congress president and told him that the auction had already taken place and the Mahatma’s belongings had been bought by Vijay Mallya.

“Oh, it’s good that Bapu’s belongings have been bought by an Indian,” Siddharth Patel said, face flushing.

Poor chap Siddharth, little did he know that Gandhi’s belongings were already back in Indian hands.

Smt Sonia Gandhi Indian Congress Party Leader

Sonia Gandhi (born December 9, 1946), is an Indian politician and the president of the Indian National Congress (Congress Party). Also, she is currently the chairperson of the ruling United Progressive Alliance in the Lok Sabha.

Gandhi did not enter politics until after her husband's assassination on May 21, 1991. Following his death she was pressured by the Congress Party to enter politics and to continue the party's dynastic tradition of being led by a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family.

In 1998 she formally entered politics, assuming the helm of the Congress Party and declaring herself a candidate for Prime Minister. Largely through her family name, she was able to draw large crowds and nearly single-handedly revitalized the party. However, she remained a somewhat enigmatic figure, and her opposition (chiefly the Bharatiya Janata Party) constantly played off the fact that she was foreign-born and was not a fluent Hindi speaker until she entered politics, frequently asserting that she had no qualifications other than her name.

She rose to become Leader of the Opposition in the 13th Lok Sabha, and in the 2004 election launched an aggressive campaign to unseat the ruling Hindu-Nationalists. She had been tipped to be the next Prime Minister of India following her party's surprise victory in the 2004 Lok Sabha election. On May 16 she was unanimously voted to lead a 19-party coalition government.

However, on May 18, a day before her scheduled inauguration, she addressed a meeting of Congress lawmakers and declined to become Prime Minister. Amid indignant shouts from her supporters, she said "I request you to accept my decision and to recognize that I will not reverse it. ... It is my inner voice, my conscience." Lawmakers surrounded the podium and begged her to reconsider. Later, hundreds massed outside Gandhi's home in New Delhi. Feelings ran so high that a former provincial Congress legislator held a revolver to his head, threatening to commit suicide, before being disarmed ten minutes later. Distraught Congress workers smashed window panes at the party office to express their frustration. Congress leaders also resigned en masse in another attempt to get her to reconsider. Congress sources said Gandhi was tired of the Hindu nationalist campaign against her foreign origins. Some also said that her children asked her to decline, fearful of the assassination threat.

Manmohan Singh was appointed Prime Minister instead, with her support.

Dr Manmohan Singh PM

The country's 14th prime minister Manmohan Singh, a man of high moral standing and accomplishment, is also the first Sikh to have reached the country's top legislative position. In this comes the reinforcement of a genuine will to put an end to tensions of the 1980s. ANI tried to visit Singh's roots, which speak of a basic simplicity and a rise from the masses. Humble beginnings. The people celebrating Dr Manmohan Singh as prime minister, feel and know that he is one of them.

At the dawn of Independent India in 1947, Manmohan Singh, aged 13, displaced by the partition, came to live with his parents in Amritsar from Gah, now in Pakistan, where he was born.

The house is today much more than it was in his time. Memories of the locals, his neigbours, friends, many of whom live here even now, reflect a man risen from the grassroots, his success built on dedication and merit overcoming odds.

Says Ramesh Kumar, an old resident of the locality, "We are so proud, so happy, that our old friend, someone who has grown up with us is today the country's prime minister. He'll do some good work, negate all the bad things done by politicians in the past. He's a very decent, very balanced person we can identify with. Only someone who has felt poverty first hand knows what it is like."

Rajwinder (64), an old family friend who lives in the same area even today, said: "In the early days, his family faced great problems due to poverty. His father had a petty job, and on days it was so bad, there wasn't even bread in the house to eat. He used to go to school barefeet. They didn't have electricity in the house, so he studied under a street lamp. Very often his family had to go to bed hungry for want of money."

Destiny had big things in store. Congress President Sonia Gandhi's decision to withdraw from the prime-ministership and nominate her most trusted lieutenant alters so many equations, notable among them putting an end to long-standing tensions between the Congress party and the Sikhs. Manmohan Singh's becoming prime minister sets at rest any allegations of bias against the community, and furthers a mending after the tensions of Operation Bluestar to evict terrorists at the Golden Temple, and the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Manjit Singh Calcutta, General Secretary of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), says, "There had been great tension between the Sikhs and Congress since 1984 with Bluestar and the killing of Indira Gandhi. This will bridge the gap."
