Rahul Gandhi: The people of UP are fed up with non-Congress govts.

Continuing to invite the attention of the people regarding the bad state of affairs in Uttar Pradesh because of the misrule by the non-Congress parties, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi had said that the people are fed up with the Mayawati rule.  She has failed to deliver on the promises she gave to the people during 2007 Assembly elections, Rahul Gandhi added while addressing public meetings in Gorakhpur and Azamgarh asd part of his Congress campaign for the recently held UP Assembly elections 2012. The Congress leader had asked the people ‘how long you will tolerate the misrule.’ Rahul Gandhi had pointed out that the non-Congress parties that have been alternatively ruling the state for the last twenty two years showered empty promises to garner their votes after coming to power they forgot about the promises and remained busy in sharing the spoils. “Funds sent by Congress (I)-led UPA government at the center for welfare and development schemes such as MNREGA were looted by Mayawati government” alleged Rahul Gandhi. The Congress MP also said that the poor to whom that money was addressed did not get anything. ‘The youth is without employment, people without health care, student without quality education and farmers are compelled to buy seeds and fertilizers in  black market rather than on the subsidized rates announced by central government,’ further said Rahul Gandhi. Arguing that Mayawati has repeatedly failed to deliver on her promises, Rahul Gandhi requested the people to give a chance to Congress (I) to form government and assured them that Congress would transform the state into No. 1 position in the country.

Rahul Gandhi: Congress is not to make blind promises, but to perform

“You trusted SP thrice, BJP and BSP four times, but nothing changed in the state”, argued Rahul Gandhi - the Congress General Secretary - while speaking at a well attended Congress rally in Kanpur as part of his campaign for Congress in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress leader complained that in UP the people gave chances to all these non-Congress parties but the most populous state in the country is slipping back fast because of their misrule.

“At the Centre, people gave mandate to Congress again. In Delhi people elected Congress for the third consecutive term. Same is the case in Andhra Pradesh too. People elected Congress continuously because they know that Congress does not make hollow promises, but perform,” asserted the Congress General Secretary.

Taking a dig at SP’s promises, Rahul Gandhi said, “Mulayam Singh Yadav now promises free electricity in the entire U.P. He was the Chief Minister thrice. I still remember that there was no sufficient electricity under his regime but the people used to receive hefty bills. No power plant was set up in the past 22 years and so how can he provide free electricity?”

The Congress leader also slammed Mulayam Singh Yadav for his promise to convert Bundelkhand to Israel. “No one in Bundelkhand wants Israel. He was the Chief Minister for three terms. Why did not he convert Bundelkhand to Israel then? When the people of drought-hit Bundelkhand were crying for relief, where was he? I had visited the region and talked to various people there” informed Rahul Gandhi. “I could not see Mulayam Ji or Mayawati Ji anywhere. I had even requested Mayawati Ji to pay a visit to the place; but she did not do so,” added Rahul Gandhi.
