NAC files made public: Was Sonia Gandhi the super PM in the UPA regime?
The government of India has made public 710 files related to the National Advisory Committee (NAC). The files give an insight of the relationship with the National Advisory Committee, formed under the chairmanship of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
These files reveal how NAC, far from its charter to provide inputs for policy formulation and support to government, was influencing policy making in disinvestment, coal, power and real estate apart from social sectors. What is interesting to note is that NAC sway over the government from 2004-2014 came with less accountability.
The files made public show how suggestions were given, officers were summoned and compliance reports were being sought by the NAC.
SONIA'S WORDS WERE FINAL
File notings clearly reveal that when it came to recommendations from Sonia Gandhi, her words were final. One such example was File N9, which was related to the ministry of heavy industries and public enterprises. This file contains a letter dated September 16, 2004, in which the Congress president had written a letter to the then PM Manmohan Singh. The issue was reconstitution of disinvestment commission and setting up of a new board in its place.
ALSO READ | UPA's 10-year report card: Scams, policy paralysis crashes India's economy
In the letter Sonia wrote, "The functioning of the board should not only be limited to restructuring or advising on the closure or sale of public sector enterprises that are referred to it by the government. I hope this matter will be considered on priority and a clear decisiontaken before the constitution of the board for reconstruction of public sector enterprises."
Files show that Dr Manmohan Singh carried out the recommendations given by Sonia Gandhi.
APEX MECHANISM FOR MANUFACTURING SECTOR
On February 27, 2006, Sonia asked Singh to institute an apex mechanism for the manufacturing sector. "I thought that the issues outlined above needed to be taken up without delay for further consideration in the government," read Sonia's letter (1728/CP/NAC/06).
A note in a file dated October 27, 2006 and addressed to Sonia revealed - "Ä special mechanism in the form of a high-level committee on manufacturing for implementation has been created as suggested in your letter to the PM."
ALSO READ | NDA achieved more in 10 months as compared to UPA: PM Modi
In a letter dated December 9, 2013, representatives of ministers and departments were invited for discussion in NAC secretariat. In the letter it was written that, "As directed by the secretary NAC, draft DO letter to revenue secretary and secretary, expenditure, requesting them to depute senior officers from their respective departments to brief the NAC secretariat about the impact of the education cess levied by the government in 2004."
REVIEW OF COAL SECTOR IN NAC OFFICE
In another letter DO/9556/osd/NA/2007, a review of the coal sector was scheduled in the office of NAC on October 17, 2007 and names and designations of senior officers attending the meeting were sought.
One such excerpt from the minutes of an NAC meeting held on October29,2005 created an impression that there was no trust on the functioning of the government as far as NAC was concerned. In the minutes of the meeting it was mentioned, "It was agreed that while implementation of the various recommendations of the commission would be the direct responsibility of the government agencies and other institutions, it would still be imperative to monitor and evaluate this process, closely, independently and credibly."
ALSO READ | Sonia Gandhi to India Today: I'm not the right person to decide on Rahul's elevation as Congress chief
These revelations have given fillip to what the BJP has been saying for long that it was Sonia Gandhi who has been running this government by proxy and that she was the super PM during the UPA regime.
POLITICAL SLUGFEST
As expected, this revelation has started a political slugfest between the BJP and the Congress. "This is something which we have been saying for a very long time that Sonia Gandhi was the super Prime Minister during the UPA regime," BJP spokesperson Zafar Islam said.
Meanwhile K Raju, close aide of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and someone who has worked very closely with NAC, rubbished the allegation.
"Sonia Gandhi resigned from the NAC in March 2006 and came back in June 2010. She never got any loan waived off any big industrialist and did not even interfere in any policy to help anyone. In NAC, we only worked for policies which would help the poor, tribal and the lower middle class, what is wrong in it? Even in this, Sonia Gandhi has only given suggestions and requested that the government looks into a particular matter and never pass any order as is being suggested," K Raju said.

Regenere Review: Don’t Buy Before You Read This!
What is it?
Regenere is a skin care product that advertises itself as an injection-free alternative to Botox. They claim that they are able to get the same smoothing, age-defying effects as the more invasive chemical while also adding moisturizing and antioxidant elements to provide a more complete skin wellness program. Their website says that Regenere increases collagen production and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and other discolorations.
Our team of beauty and wellness experts has gotten the best results from a product called Kremotex. Their ingredient blend has been the most successful at increasing moisture levels and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines without compromising the long-term health of the skin. Click here to see before and after pictures of Kremotex users.
Do You Know the Best Anti-Aging Creams of 2017?
Regenere Ingredients and Side Effects
Proprietary Biospheres QuSomes Vitamins Antioxidants
 Proprietary Biospheres: According to Regenere’s website, these are Biofil spheres made of wheat protein that help reduce water loss from skin cells. They further claim that this has a plumping effect on the skin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Hydrolyzed wheat proteins are a fairly commonplace skin care ingredient that are formed when proteins and peptides are bonded together with hydrochloric acid in order to form simple amino acids. Its main function tends to be as a texture-enhancer, living on the surface of the skin and helping give it a smooth appearance and feel.
The moisturization claims from Regenere’s website mostly seem to be based on its ability to form a barrier over the skin that traps in moisture and allows other chemicals and nutrients a longer time to absorb. All of these benefits are surface-level effects that do not have any impact on the long-term health and wellness of the skin.
Wheat proteins are generally considered safe, however individuals with gluten sensitivities may experience allergic reactions when using these products. There are no other side effects or long-term consequences that have been traced to wheat proteins.
QuSomes: A newly synthesized chemical that is designed to act as a delivery agent for topical products that allows them to better penetrate the skin. Deeper penetration leads to more nutrients being absorbed by more skin cells, theoretically enhancing the power of any given ingredient blend.
QuSomes are tiny, microscopic bubbles that help break down the layers of rater and fat that can stop larger molecules from finding cells that are still untouched. They have no nutritional value or benefit to the skin directly, however it is thought to be indirectly helpful for moisturizers, color correctors, and some medications.
There is no data about QuSomes aside from the limited studies from its manufacturers, so it is difficult to accurately judge just how safe and effective they may be. There are some concerns that it may help the skin absorb chemicals that it is designed to keep out, which may have detrimental long-term effects on skin health, however QuSomes have not existed long enough for there to even be a 5-year study about their safety.
Vitamins and Antioxidants: This is incredibly vague, but those are the only other elements that Regenere even alludes to being included in their ingredient blend. There are literally thousands of different products that contain some amounts of vitamins and or antioxidants and it is impossible to tell from Regenere’s limited website what they may be.
Both vitamins and antioxidants are known to be incredibly helpful in skin care. Vitamins A, C, and E are especially necessary for the formulation of new skin, and vitamins B, D, and K all have dermal health functions as well. Antioxidants are needed to combat the damage that is done to the skin by free radicals, the harmful chemicals that get released when the skin is exposed to sunlight, harsh chemicals, or other environmental factors.
That said, vitamins and antioxidants could be the product of traditionally successful skin care ingredients like shea butter or retinol, they could be from fad sources like green tea, blue algae, or acai berry, or even from potentially harmful sources like mineral oil. Unless a company discloses their sources of these chemicals it is impossible to accurately evaluate the safety and effectiveness of any given product.
Click here to get access to our team of experts’ skin care products ratings.
EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this product with a proven anti-aging cream such as Kremotex for better results.
Regenere Quality of Ingredients
In some ways it is impossible to evaluate a product accurately if you do not know what is in it, however the fact that they do not choose to publish their ingredients alone says volumes about the quality of their product.
Reputable companies that are proud of the products they produce and want to display their ingredients. They’re eager for the opportunity to have consumers compare their blend with the competition because they genuinely believe that they have the best product.
Posted ingredients lists allow for fair and accurate comparison with other products, ensuring that people with allergies or that are taking prescription meds don’t have unwanted interactions with the product, and it ensures customers that it does not contain any filler ingredients like simple alcohols that look good when applied but that have more damaging effects when used long term.
Our team encourages all of our readers to never purchase any beauty, wellness, or nutrition product that does not disclose their ingredients list.
For more information about or team’s research into the safest and most effective skin care products, click here.
The Price and Quality of Regenere
If the fact that Regenere does not choose to publish their ingredients was not a warning sign that they might not be the most reputable company, their strange pricing structure should be.
Regenere does not sell their product through any third party platforms, choosing instead to strictly control distribution themselves. They also do not sell Regenere in individual units, as most companies do, but rather they encourage browsing customers to try their free sample.
The catch with this offer, hidden in a small “Terms and Conditions” link at the bottom of the page, is that in order to receive your free sample you must first sign up for their automatic payment program. This program charges users $89.92 plus shipping and handling for the monthly delivery of a jar of Regenere – well above market price for a product of this nature.
If users try to cancel their enrollment in the program, Regenere has another set of hidden fees that they levy against the consumer. It does not seem that Regenere is trying to create a genuine product but rather they are just trying to trap consumers into paying fees that they did not expect for a product that they do not want.
Follow this link to learn more about which skin care products are the most effective at increasing moisturization, regeneration, and fatty acid levels.
Business of Regenere
As with their ingredients and their billing policies, Regenere is also reluctant to disclose any information about their parent company. Our research team did find that one of the names the company uses is WPS Innovations, however they are also linked to a network of other companies with this same business model that go by names like Skin Technologies and Coal Cosmetics. WPS Innovations can be contacted through these platforms:
Phone Number: (877) 286-0845
Address: 7308 S. Alton Way #2A
Centennial, CO 80112
There have yet to be any legal filings brought against Regenere or WPS Innovations, however there are dozens of formal complaints against them registered with organizations like the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.
To see which brands of over the counter skin care products our research team rated the highest, click here.
EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using anti-aging creams for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Regenere
Not selling your product on independent websites may help you control some of the reports from angry customers, but it doesn’t stop them from turning to sites like Ripoff Report and Consumer Help Desk to vent their frustrations. Some accounts of former Regenere customers are similar to these:
“I signed up for their free sample, but when I tried it it burned and made my face break out like crazy. I threw it away and didn’t even think of it again until I got a bill on my credit card for almost a hundred bucks.”
“This was the worst experience of my life! Regenere tricked me into paying tons of money for a garbage product – stay away!”
“THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION! DO NOT USE THEIR PRODUCT!
The majority of the comments were complaining about the manipulative business practices of Regenere, however there were also quite a few negative comments about the product itself, with users mentioning its unpleasant smell and texture, a burning sensation upon application, and there were quite a few reports of side effects.
Follow this link to find out more about which skin care products are the most effective for reducing redness, wrinkles, and the effects of psoriasis and eczema.
Conclusion – Does Regenere Work?
Our panel of reviewers has a philosophy that guides their work. They believe that skin care products should make the skin healthier first, and beauty is a product of those good practices. They also believe that quality companies are transparent about their business practices, choosing to rely on quality products that make customers want to keep buying them rather than marketing gimmicks that trick people into giving them money.
Regenere violates both of these core values. Their products do not make people healthier or younger looking. They are not made of trusted materials or sold at a fair price they are not even guaranteed safe for any given user. Our panel cannot encourage users strenuously enough to avoid Regenere.
Our team suggests that users looking for a daily skin care product try Kremotex. Their ingredients blend is formulated to improve skin from the cellular level out, making it look younger and healthier because it’s actually functioning better. Click here to see why Kremotex is becoming one of the most respected brands in the industry.

As expected, this revelation has started a political slugfest between the BJP and the Congress. "This is something which we have been saying for a very long time that Sonia Gandhi was the super Prime Minister during the UPA regime," BJP spokesperson Zafar Islam said.
Meanwhile K Raju, close aide of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and someone who has worked very closely with NAC, rubbished the allegation.
"Sonia Gandhi resigned from the NAC in March 2006 and came back in June 2010. She never got any loan waived off any big industrialist and did not even interfere in any policy to help anyone. In NAC, we only worked for policies which would help the poor, tribal and the lower middle class, what is wrong in it? Even in this, Sonia Gandhi has only given suggestions and requested that the government looks into a particular matter and never pass any order as is being suggested," K Raju said.

NAC files made public: Was Sonia Gandhi the super PM in the UPA regime?
The government of India has made public 710 files related to the National Advisory Committee (NAC). The files give an insight of the relationship with the National Advisory Committee, formed under the chairmanship of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
These files reveal how NAC, far from its charter to provide inputs for policy formulation and support to government, was influencing policy making in disinvestment, coal, power and real estate apart from social sectors. What is interesting to note is that NAC sway over the government from 2004-2014 came with less accountability.
The files made public show how suggestions were given, officers were summoned and compliance reports were being sought by the NAC.
SONIA'S WORDS WERE FINAL
File notings clearly reveal that when it came to recommendations from Sonia Gandhi, her words were final. One such example was File N9, which was related to the ministry of heavy industries and public enterprises. This file contains a letter dated September 16, 2004, in which the Congress president had written a letter to the then PM Manmohan Singh. The issue was reconstitution of disinvestment commission and setting up of a new board in its place.

In the letter Sonia wrote, "The functioning of the board should not only be limited to restructuring or advising on the closure or sale of public sector enterprises that are referred to it by the government. I hope this matter will be considered on priority and a clear decisiontaken before the constitution of the board for reconstruction of public sector enterprises."
Files show that Dr Manmohan Singh carried out the recommendations given by Sonia Gandhi.
APEX MECHANISM FOR MANUFACTURING SECTOR
On February 27, 2006, Sonia asked Singh to institute an apex mechanism for the manufacturing sector. "I thought that the issues outlined above needed to be taken up without delay for further consideration in the government," read Sonia's letter (1728/CP/NAC/06).
A note in a file dated October 27, 2006 and addressed to Sonia revealed - "Ä special mechanism in the form of a high-level committee on manufacturing for implementation has been created as suggested in your letter to the PM."

In a letter dated December 9, 2013, representatives of ministers and departments were invited for discussion in NAC secretariat. In the letter it was written that, "As directed by the secretary NAC, draft DO letter to revenue secretary and secretary, expenditure, requesting them to depute senior officers from their respective departments to brief the NAC secretariat about the impact of the education cess levied by the government in 2004."
REVIEW OF COAL SECTOR IN NAC OFFICE
In another letter DO/9556/osd/NA/2007, a review of the coal sector was scheduled in the office of NAC on October 17, 2007 and names and designations of senior officers attending the meeting were sought.
One such excerpt from the minutes of an NAC meeting held on October29,2005 created an impression that there was no trust on the functioning of the government as far as NAC was concerned. In the minutes of the meeting it was mentioned, "It was agreed that while implementation of the various recommendations of the commission would be the direct responsibility of the government agencies and other institutions, it would still be imperative to monitor and evaluate this process, closely, independently and credibly."
