New Delhi : Congress today hailed President Pratibha Patil's address to both Houses of Parliament, saying it laid the vision, direction and performance of the government.
"The President's address reflects the vision, direction and performance of the government. It also illuminates the roadmap for the next decade," party spokesman Manish Tewari said outside Parliament House on Feb 22.
On the Opposition criticising the government for not having clear policies to fight naxals and bring down prices, Tewari said the opposition is "bereft of ideas". He said naxal violence was dealt with in the address of the President and it was wrong to say that the government is not committed to fight them.
Tewari said the Home Minister has written letters to the chief ministers of the naxal-affected states and a meeting with them will take place shortly.
