Leader with Conviction

Bikash Choudhury



We have to concede Sonia Gandhi now as democratic leader with a difference. Many of commentators like me have almost concluded that women's reservation bill is another vote bank stunt of congress and its leader Ms. Gandhi. After passing of the women's reservation bill in the upper house; many of us are happy to be proved wrong. Ms. Gandhi deserve accolade not only from all women group but from also men who wish to see a substantial change in governance. One thing is clear today, Madam Gandhi could travel any length to give shape to her conviction on national interest; And, her renunciation of power in 2004 was not an aberration, but more such events to follow as we witness her firm resolve to give Indian women their due in our political management. Ms. Gandhi would have drawn many admirers by her impeccable conduct in public life; but from today she should be able to gain the mind space of her political opponents.
