Rahul Gandhi – the leader who delivers

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is clearly the leader of the masses. He regularly tries to intervene in the issues of the people, wherever it is. That is what we saw in Bundelkhand, Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul. It was because of his intervention, the Central government approved a relief package for Bunkars and for the drought-hit Bundelkhand region. Recently after his visit to the drought hit areas in Maharashtra, he led a delegation to the Prime Minister and requested his help to find solution to the problems of the people in the affected area. Truly, Rahul Gandhi is a leader who delivers.

Congress reaches out to the people in their hour of need: Rahul Gandhi

Criticising non-Congress leaders, Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav, in particular, for not going to the people to know their problems, AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that only Congress (I) has reached out to the people in their hour of need. “Mayawati is your Chief Minister for the past five years. Mulayam Singh Yadav was your Chief Minster thrice. Did any one of them come to you in the past five years?” asked Rahul Gandhi while addressing a huge Congress rally in Hardoi as part of his Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh.

“When the poor farmers in the drought-hiot Bundelkhand region were crying for help and support, I had visited the region,” said Rahul Gandhi and alleged that neither Mayawati nor Mulayam visited the people in distress.  How then these non-Congress parties could talk about the issues of the people or the development, without going among them and talking to them, Rahul Gandhi wondered.

“It was the responsibility of the state government to help them out. But it did nothing” said Rahul Gandhi. Congress (I)-led UPA government at the Centre made available a relief package of Rs 8,000 crores to help the people of Bundelkhand, informed the Congress leader.  “But the money was gobbled up by the magic elephant sitting in Lucknow and the people got nothing” said Rahul Gandhi.

Arguing that these non-Congress parties were not interested in the welfare of the people, Rahul Gandhi asked the people support Congress (I) and assured that a Congress government would bring back the state of Uttar Pradesh on the track of development.

Rahul Gandhi – a new wave in Indian politics

According to many social and political observers, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has been for a new wave in the body of Indian politics. But then, to do away with the decades-old stereo-typed machinery and its operational ways, would need a little more time.

Arvind Mohan, professor of economics at Lucknow University, said, “Rahul Gandhi made a serious effort.. To expect Gandhi to deliver 100 seats in UP is not the right way to look at it. Gandhi has made a good beginning for Congress……The party must sustain its effort for a while and Rahul Gandhi must make that investment. ….. With Gandhi, the Congress in UP is not in the negative…” (quoted from Gulf News, dated March 10, 2012).

Rahul Gandhi’s organized functioning would definitely work and his good management practices supported by his team mates would go a long way in view of the need to modernize the political functioning in the country, say political analysts.

Other political parties, just for being for the electoral system and eyeing only self-gains, have been critical about Rahul Gandhi and the so-called dynastic politics in the nation. But then, all of them seem to have failed to realize that none other than Rahul Gandhi has himself on every such occasions not only admitted that the existing political system has been bereft of what could be termed as ‘organizational democracy’, having both space and scope for appropriate people, without any tag.

And, he has been putting in all-out efforts to put a full stop to traditional structured mind-sets, as evident in his efforts for past number of years to inject new vibrancy in the frontal set-ups of the Congress.

Rahul Gandhi hopes that UID Card will help the funds to reach the poor

Congress General secretary Rahul Gandhi hopes that Aadhar UID card (unique identity number) would resolve the delivery challenges highlighted by his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. While speaking at a gathering of people from Bundelkhand in New Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said that his father had voiced concern regarding only 15 paise reaching the intended beneficiaries from one rupee allotted from the Centre. The Congress leader said that many people complained that the funds sanctioned under the Bundelkhand package not reaching them and hoped that UID card will resolve this issue as it would ensure the sanctioned funds to reach directly to them.

"Development is generating resources. The challenge is how to deliver it. My father Rajiv Gandhiji had once remarked that barely 15 paise reach you from Rs one sent from Delhi. The one thing that needs urgent change is this. How to ensure that you get the entire Rs one allotted for you," Rahul Gandhi said referring to the complaints of the alleged fraud in disbursement of funds under the Bundelkhand package and other scheme like Mahatma Gandhi NREGA.

Rahul Gandhi explained the gathering how UID card would subsume multiplicity of identity cards -- BPL card, ration card, job cards among others -- into a single card that will facilitate direct fund transfer to them.

Rahul Gandhi: Mayawati promotes politics based on caste identity

Alleging that BSP chief Mayawati for promoting politics based on caste identity, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi slammed her for ignoring the pains of Bunkars, artisans and workers. “She only bothered about a particular caste which comprise 10% of the people and ignored the rest of 90% of the population”, said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a huge Congress gathering in Hardoi as part of his Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh.

“How there can be progress and development in the state when 90% of the people are ignored”, wondered Rahul Gandhi. Arguing that Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav worked only for their respective castes, Rahul Gandhi said that only Congress follows the policy of inclusive growth and works for the entire people without any discrimination. “Congress politics leaves none out and aims at the welfare and development of the entire people,” added the young Congress leader. Rahul Gandhi said that the Bunkars – traditional weavers – were facing unemployment and debt burden but Mayawati did not help them. However, when they approached the Congress-led central government, it came forward to provide a relief package and also introduced a Bunkars credit card to avail credit facilities from Banks, informed the Congress General Secretary. Highlighting that these non-Congress parties were not interested in the welfare of the entire people, Rahul Gandhi requested the people to support Congress in the state of Uttar Pradesh for bringing back development.  Rahul Gandhi assured that a government of the poor, OBCs, minorities and aam admi by the Congress will work for development leaving no one out.

Rahul Gandhi: BJP boasts about curbing corruption, but actually encourages it

Hitting hard against BJP for boasting about eradicating corruption, Congress (I) General Secretary RahulGandhi has said that the BJP has rather been encouraging corruption in the country. It has never been serious about ending graft from the country; it relishes double speak and practice hypocrisy, said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a big Congress rally in Uttar Pradesh as part of his Congress campaign in the state.

“Its senior leader LK Advani took out a yatra against corruption across the country and all he could find was Babu Singh Kushwaha, the most corrupt in Mayawati government and took him to the BJP”, said the Congress MP from Amethi. Highlighting its misdeeds, Rahul Gandhi reminded the people that in the past BJP had gone to the extent of sharing power with Mayawati on six-monthly basis in the state.

Rahul Gandhi also said that in UP, BJP sought votes in the name of religion instead of on the basis of their performance. The people saw the true face of BJP when it blocked the passage of strong Lokpal Bill in the Parliament. There were scams and scandals in the BJP-led NDA government too, said the Congress General Secretary. BJP President Bangaru Laxxman was caught on camera taxing bribe, reminded Rahul Gandhi. “But BJP did not take any action against him. Does not this confirm that BJP encouraged corruption”, argued Rahul Gandhi.
