Latest credit to Sonia's name. Why doesn't JNU or AMU give her an hononary degree?
They must be desperate to ensure votes:

NEW DELHI: Manmohan Singh may be the Prime Minister but for Murli Deora, Sonia Gandhi is the boss.
The petroleum minister wore his loyalty on his sleeve on Thursday while announcing a reduction in motor fuel prices the second after November when he said the move was prompted by UPA chairperson's concerns over rising cost of daily living.
"This reduction restores petrol and diesel prices to June levels and fulfils Mrs Gandhi's vision (that the benefit of any decline in crude will be passed on to the aam aadmi). The reduction in diesel prices will help reduce prices of items used by people across the board," Deora told TOI.
This is perhaps one of those rare instances when a cabinet minister announced a major decision without either taking credit himself or giving it to the head of the government. Last June, the price of petrol was raised by Rs 4 a litre and that of diesel by Rs 2 when crude climbed to $75/barrel.
(No, it's not a rare instance of that. The reason is simple. Everyone bows down to the alien christo queen. If you don't, her foreign backers in the US and the Vatican will have you killed. Or her Congress goons will, like they have been trying with Raoul Gandhi's rape victim and victim's family.)
The reductions affected on Thursday and earlier in November each time Rs 2 on petrol and Re 1 on diesel have washed away the June blues.
By giving Sonia full credit, Deora is clearly trying to shore up the UPA chairperson's image of a leader concerned over people's welfare. Even at the cost of reversing his own public stand on the issue.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->There's more (total of 2 pages) at TOI. But I couldn't read more of the sycophancy.
