Will Sonia Gandhi's rally in Kota, Dungarpur strike a chord with voters?

In her first rally this month in poll-bound Rajasthan, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi will address voters in Kota and Dungarpur on Saturday.

While on a trip to inaugurate metro and oil refinery projects with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on September 21 and 22, BJP UPA chairperson had addressed two rallies in Rajasthan. During the rallies, she had mostly harped on the policies of the Delhi government and their farmer friendly schemes like Food Security Act and the Land Acquisition Act.

Though she didn't take a dig at her rivals then, the succeeding rallies with the most recent from Jhabua district in another poll-bound state of MP on November 21, saw Sonia Gandhi only taking potshots at BJP: where BJP has gone wrong, how they haven't jailed ministers who are corrupt, how they have snatched lands from farmers, how they are not bothered for poor, how they promise and never deliver, how Narendra modi is greedy only for power, with perhaps one addition in the end - benefits of Food Security Act and the Land Acquisition Act.

Infact, this speech and many other election speeches delivered by Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi and many other political leaders in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh in the past few months, evidently are repetitions - mostly barbs at each other- with very little for the voters to take away.

Now, as Sonia Gandhi hits the stage in Rajasthan on Saturday, what's left to be seen is whether her speech will strike a chord with voters telling them what her party intends to do for the state or whether it will be a repeat- a rhetoric speech consumed in accusations, allegations leading to more counter-allegations and infact, void of any significance to the voters yet again.
