After the death of Indiraji, Rajiv had to face the country’s inflamed problm. In Delhi adn many part of the coutnry violent acts took place. People were showing their anger against the culprits. the intevsity of mutiny was very fevere. Many of them died and many injured. Same had lost their relations, same had lost properly, some left fer another place. These all were happeing on a particular caste of peoples. On 2nd November 1984, Rajiv gave a message to the nation— Dear Indians,
Everybody knows about the ineident which Ia had undergone. Croses of Indian are mourning on the death of their beleved leads; but some people are trying to disturb our ceremenal hoununy. This is my earnest request to those people that please donot haze the memories of your beloved leader by such violent aets. He had seen thameful acts of arson, looting and violence in Delhi. We had to stop it immediately. The responsbility of the safety of each and every Indian is on our government. The government will provide safety inespective of any caste or Religion.
Indian sacrificed her life for the unity of India. The wanted India to proper and touch new heights. The wanted people to live in harmony, but after seeing the violent acts, it seems they are going towards communal insanity. This insanity will destroy all of us. The ideal for which India is striving since long will be finished. I, am the Prime Minister cannot tolerate this unanity. My motto is — “NO hatred, No Blood shed.” This ideal is the light of our life. We had to follow this ideal at any lost.”
After the election of 1984, when Rajiv came to power, he gave a message to the nation on 5th January 1985 — Friends!,
I don’t have words to express my gratitude for your belief in me in elections. This is the victory of our unity, victory of ever understand it to be my win rather it is yours. You all have shown to the world that India is bounded by the stnng chain of unity and integrity. World knows that Gandhiji Panditji and Indiraji had accerded strength to Indian democracy. We had to continue this tradition and make democracy even strnger. Today there are lots of challenges in front of us. We had to look into future how we will face these challenges. We had to do lots of work in the coming time. We can do thse work only if we unite. Our unity will lead to any type of sucess with flying colours. Tauntress in our greates weakness. It cannot proceed with our unity. My first goal is the safety of Indian people. We want to secure the life of every class of people. We don’t wnat pressure on any particular class. Our intention is the safety of life-property of every class. We want to bestow justice to our people. We don’t want to stop on a particular place but to more further and further unstoppable. We try our best to stop tauntress from spreading its arms. There should be peace and kind feeling among people, and they should be free from duplicity.
I had constituted a cabinet committee. This committee on the problems of Punjab will submit its report to me. We will sert-out the buming problem of Punjab with your cooperation. Our Sikh brothers and sisters had greatly contributed during freedom struggle. Their landabl role in freedom struggle cannot be forgotten. Today the people of Punjab showed their keen interest in the development of our country. We had to took after themand to save them from any type of aggression. Today there are same forces, which are tyring to brak our country. We had to destroy these forces. We neer eer had to let these forces to rise again. The problems with neighbouring countries in Assam are still complicated. We had to put forth our full energy to solve than. The problems which are not loved by agitatiow, we want to solve it by bilateral talks. After some months, we are starting our sevent five year plan. We believe that this plan will take our country to new heights. India will develop at much faster pace. We try our best to remove poverty and unemphoyment by this plan. To make it a sucess every individual had to come farward.
“Public Sector” is the main medium of our development. This sector had put farmerd backward areas and developed then. Among this the maximum contribution are of public sector companies. But doday there are many industries which are totally closed or there are lots of obstructioons in running them. We try our best to remove these obstruetious as soon as possible. We had also made a report on it. After going through it, will be applied. We want our industries to produce more and more by using advanced technologies, so that they can get maximum help in production. This will lead to their development and also our country will proper.
We had asked ‘Science & Technology’ Ministry to frame out a plan. Under this plan, we will develop new technology in our industries. We had also asked foreign ministry to follow such a policy by which our export inseases so that our country stands in this competitive world. Firstly Congresss only had made a twenty-point programme. Its main object is to uplift the backward areas, and we had been quite dreenful in this; but we are also tryig for even more success in the days to come. After independence our ferests had been out many times. This resulted into weather change. We are malining National Barren Land Board. Under this we will plant trees in five million hactare farren land every year. Every Indian knows that the holy Ganga is connected to our tradition since long. We also called her “Ganga-Man”. But today its mater is polluted. We had to clean that mater. For this we are making ‘Cenral Ganga Authority’. Apart from this we are also tyring to clean water and air in other parts of the country. Our effert in people should breath in puse air and drink puse mater. So that our country should be free from diseases.
We also wnat to improve administrative procedure. For this we had already started new proceedings. We had to do excesive work on this. We had taken the refermation under our control. After evaluating the conditions, we will boost our decideing procedure. We had ordered all government agencies to work for the welfare of the people. to look after people’s complaint we had decided to establish a mechanized programme. This will work in every public related offices where people can record their complaint and also give suggistious to make it more fool proof. We try that nobody dare to interface in our public services. We want to reform administration and public servants, so that people can get even better service for which they are entitted. For this it is necessary to replace civil servants. We will try our level best in its refermation.
We want to gives more and more emphasis on education. Only by educatio, we can make strnger India’s unity and integrity. Our effort is to establish such type of educational institutions which narrate the stories of freedom struggle to our students. With this the students will develop their love for country. We want to develop Science and new technology in education without touching Indian culture and civilization. We should continue our tradition in future like it has been continuing till now. The institutions had to telo old events/happainengs to our younger generation. For this we had diverted Education Department/Ministry to chack-out new policies. This policy will soon be ready. We also hope to establish new communication technology to provide education in schools.
We want to insease the number of “Kendriya Vidyalays” and also to make it more effective than before. Out effort is to start a open university by which people can get education in homes. We want to make our society such educated, so that they can get work on the basis of their own education. We want peace in each and every country. Peace is the path by chich we can excel. When we were under British rule, we know what it means to be a slave? But now we are independent. We had to unite to fight against povety. Today India has occupied a special prace in the wased only one to its Peare-keeping policies.
I had met millions of people face to face in every corner of our country. One common thing, I found everywhere and that is our unity I knwo very well that Indians will maintain this unity adn integrity of the country with strong effort. We are proud to be an Indian. We feel glory ion our traditions and history. Only same few countries has such a glorious history as is ours. Now it is our responsibility to develop our country and take it to new hieghts. I want to great everybody on the creasion of new year. I want to tell all of you that yours happiness and sorrows are mine. We will not seperate ousselves ever under difficult situations. JAI HIND! JAI BHARAT!
Rajiv beleved people to be ahead in every respec. So he distered to their problams by standing between them and tried to sort-out their problems. Rajiv wanted to understand the polities of every state. For this he made an clebrate programme. Under this he visited each and every state. He deeply studied the conditions of every state and tinkied of the means to sowe them.
Rajiv wanted to raise teh standard of India with the help of education. He believed that only education can bring clearliness in administration. For this, it is necessary to educate, the uneducated perosns. For this he believed talent more suitable rather than designation; because according to hem designetions were unsuceessful in providing practical knowledge. Rajiv fired the immediate Chief Minister of Gujarat and a new Chief Minister was elected in his place, so that the Anti-reservation agitation can be stopped. After the new Chief Minister took change, and Anti-reservation committee was coustituted. After some days, this agitation became low and finally stopped. This was only possible due to the intellegent brain of Rajiv.
So lost out Punjab problam, Rajiv constituted Mathew — Commission. There was a dispute betwen the governments of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan on the Institution of canal mater. But at that time, this dispute could not been sorted out because Haryana and Punjab were not ready to talk on any matter and to suffer loss. Rajiv organised amny metings with agitatirs to find out same solutionon the porblem of infiltration in Assam. The agreement took place according to which the infintrators will not get the citizenship of India for ten years. Wining this period they will not have the right to vote. After agreement, Lok Sabha and assembly electious took place in Assam. The results were not in favour of Rajiv. He closed the elections. On this occasion he said” This debeat will not let down the moral of congress. The party who won the elections has to accept its mandate.”
Rajiv believed his country tio be ahead in everything. According to him, a person cannot be bigger than his country. He made planning procedure more stranger. Boosted efferts against powerty. Also applied relevant policies for refermation in Human Resources Development and Education.
The person who wanted to continue the policy of supremacy and exploitation, for them the policies of Rajiv became a curse. They wnat to stop the wave of Rajiv’s work and his enthusiasm. Their main aim was to depress the exeitement of Rajiv but they didn’t became sucessful in thier wrong intentious. As soon as Rajiv entered in polities, he hasted making contacts with every congress workers and active youths. But after Indira’s jeath this prcess stopped. Hence some differences arised between him and his people. These differences were of contact and manifestation whcih can be the cause of helplessness for any Prime Minster.
