Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while addressing a well-attended election rally in Saharanpur said that Congress does not cheat the people by giving promises like the non-Congress parties. Referring to the policies by the Centre for minorities, Sonia Gandhi said, ““The Congress-led Government at the Centre had introduced policies for the welfare of Dalits, Adivasis and minorities. Congress implemented the recommendations of the Sachar Committee. For the first time in the history, a separate ministry for the minorities was formed. We also gave loan worth five lakh crores of rupees under the Prime Minister’s fifteen point programme for minorities.
