Highlighting that Congress (I)-led UPA Government has brought record number of pro-people progressive reforms, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said lashed out at Mayawati and said that she deprived the people of the benefits of central sponsored schemes. While campaigning for Congress in Uttar Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi referred to Food Security Bill that seeks to provide subsidized food to the poor and said Mayawati has opposed it although she pretends to be a dalit leader. “Dalits will be the most beneficial with the Food Security Bill. But Mayawati tries to stop the bill” said Rahul Gandhi. Telling the people that previously too she had opposed MNREGA scheme which guarantees jobs to the poor, Rahul Gandhi said MNREGA is a tremendous success in Congress (I)-ruled states. It has given employment, income and respectable status in the society to the poor, claimed the Congress leader. But Mayawati deprived the people of UP the benefits of this scheme, alleged Rahul Gandhi. Highlighting that Congress (I) has been working for empowerment of the people and government accountability, Rahul Gandhi said that Congress has unmatched record of progressive reforms like: Right to Information (RTI), Right to Education, National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Janani Sauraksha Yojna (JSY), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Mid Day Meal program. Requesting the people to vote for Congress, Rahul Gandhi promised that Congress (I) would continue to bring more development and reforms in Uttar Pradesh.
