"I can say without hesitation that no Government has been able to achieve what the UPA regime has done in the last five years on all fronts," Gandhi said at the foundation laying ceremony of the rail coach factory in Raebareli.
"When the world was reeling under recession, India was bound to be affected. But the UPA government has been very alert and has decided that small industries and agriculture and rural development will keep on getting funds from the banks," she said.
Gandhi said that despite a steep hike in the prices of international crude oil, "the Government kept it under control in India by extending subsidy of Rs one lakh crore".
"The prices of petroleum products have decreased recently and I expect that soon they will dip further," she said. Thanking Railway Minister Lalu Prasad for setting up the rail coach factory in the region, Gandhi expressed hope that in the next railway budget, Prasad would bring more good news for the region.
Citing the accident at a railway crossing in Unchahar which claimed 12 lives, Gandhi said immediate steps should be taken to avoid such incidents in the future.
The UPA Chairperson informed that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was recovering well from his surgery and wished that he would get back to work soon.
"The whole country has prayed for him and he is recovering quickly," she said, adding "we want him to recover fast and take on his duties".

Does her talk on UPA achievement means that the earlier 40 to 50 yrs of Congress Govt had done nothing!!! Wah Madam G..finally U agree that the country is in such bad shape because of previous Congress Government!!! What a statement!!! Bravo!!
She is a curse on India. A widow who will make allliances with people who assasinated her husband.....Call her 'Antonia Maino' and not gandhi. She is the modern day Robert Clive.
Yes.. No other coalition government has been so efficient in allowing so many bomb blasts and terrorist attacks in the span of 5 years
International petroleum prices fell to abyssmal levels long ago and after milking the public for months,and when on the threshold of an election,they come up with this concern for common man. Sonia Maino herself taking on the task of announcement is to hog the limelight.
I wonder who is waving out to this woman, I mean who has the time and inclination to even look at this snake. She has lived in India for years and not communicate in any of the official languages, neither English nor Hindi. All she does is shoot through the jehadi shoulders.
Is it not impertinent on her part to make all these announcements. What for do we have a govt and ministers. It is a shame that no minister gets up to protest this.
What a shame that some Italian nincompoop can announce a coming decision of the Indian Govt !!!
She suffers from the incurable foot-in-mouth disease, always talks about what she is not concerned.
That shows that people like Manmohan, Pranab and Chidambaram are just puppets. For cost reduction, Sonia can get rid off these poor chaps and announce the Dynasty Rule formally. What is the purpose in having so many Ministers when they cannot go even to the toilet without the prior approval of the high command.
is she petroleum Minister of India?
Why a fuss about this. She is the chairperson of ruling UPA. Any decision on petroleum will come out as political. So she is the best person to answer about this matter.U can call her a spade or queen.But u cannot ignore her.
she is talking to indian slaves who have the habit of getting enslaved till the end.
She is the Chairperson of the UPA Govt, ruling India.She has the right to speak out regarding any Govt decisions and policies.
Before indipendence Muslims and after Christian, what a noble JV to rule India.
