“Party “United Russia” has done a lot in Tatarstan”, - Chairman of State Duma of the Federal Assembly Boris Gryzlov said to journalists in Kazan.

He reminded that gross regional product has doubled for the last five years, though the plan implied 10 years.
“There are issues to be discussed today such as “Strategy 2020”, - Boris Gryzlov said. Though world financial crisis seriously interfered in its realization we leave key figures and rates unchanged and speak about our necessary participation in modernization.
“It is pleasant to be in IT-park in Kazan and see how you join the process of modernization. We will not move forward without personal participation of every citizen. High efficiency of state is assessed by high efficiency of every citizen’s participation”, - Boris Gryzlov noted.
Answering questions of journalists Boris Gryzlov told what had been done within the limits of preparation for State Duma elections.
“March elections became a “rehearsal” and started State Duma election campaign. Results of March elections show that “United Russia” has acquired confidence of voters and it is even higher than four years ago.
By words of Boris Gryzlov elections “face” several stages to realize. One of them is holding conferences on all regional organizations. “This stage is very important. We have to report on what we’ve done and accumulate obligations to be included into the party’s program in September 2011”, - Boris Gryzlov stressed.
“Any party, especially the ruling one, should serve its people, its citizens”, - President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov said.
