Congress General Secretary as part of his poll campaign in the state of Uttar Pradesh blamed both SP and BSP for ignoring the plight of the people in the state. While addressing an election rally at Basti he said that these parties make promises during elections but forget those after that. Rahul Gandhi urged the people to support Congress to have a pro-poor Government in Uttar Pradesh.
“When drought-hit Bundelkhand was crying for help neither Mayawati Ji nor Mulayam Ji went there. I had personally requested the Chief Minister to kindly go there. But she refused,” said Rahul Gandhi.
“Mayawati was the Chief Minister for the past five years in U.P” said Rahul Gandhi and then asked “Did she come to you even once? Did Mulayam Ji ever come to you?” The big crowd responded with a roaring no.
“Till the leaders go to people and interact with them to realize their issues, the state cannot progress. You see the state of Andhra Pradesh. Congress developed the state in ten years because our leaders went to the people to understand their grievances”, he claimed.
“We made policies like MNREGA, waived-off loans of farmers and now we are in the process of bringing the right to food policy by which every poor is assured of 35 Kg of food grain. When we make these policies Mayawati Ji and the BJP ask us from where will the money come?” he wondered.
