The UPA II is two....

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and PM Manmohan Singh promised to take corrective action against corruption, acknowledging that graft in public life was a legitimate concern and UPA-2’s actions will demonstrate its will to take the malaise head on. “We will take corruption head on and demonstrate through actions, not words, that we mean what we say,” Sonia said at Sunday’s function at the prime minister’s residence to mark two years of UPA-2. She said the specific message of recent assembly elections was that people wanted and rewarded “good, effective and accountable governance”. “Transparency, accountability and probity are at the very heart of our governance, our actions and we demonstrate this,” the Congress chief said, strongly putting anti-corruption measures at the centre of her agenda as she had during the Burari party meet in November last year. While releasing UPA-2’s report to the people, the PM said there was concern over the “pervasiveness of corruption”.
