Rahul Gandhi in Bisalpur: Congress fulfills its promises

All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is addressing a mammoth election rally at Bisalpur in Pilibhit on Monday. “We too run a Government at the Centre, since 2004. We had not showered promises but assured only one thing – a government of aam aadmi that works for poor, farmers, minorities, women, dalits, Christian, Muslims, Hindu and adivasis. We had told you that our Government will come to you, hear your problems and will support all sections of the people and we delivered it. In 2009, you gave us mandate again, with a better margin,” said the Congress General Secretary.

Rahul Gandhi talks about scam in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in UP

Blaming Mayawati for indulging in corruption even where education of poor children is concerned, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has held her responsible for scam in Sarva Shiksha Abiyan. She stooped low to make money from poor children’s education program, Rahul Gandhi said while campaigning for the ongoing Assembly elections. This program has been financed by Center so that no child is left without education. Free books are given to poor children for printing of which tenders were required. Not even tendering process was complied with. Only a panel was formed arbitrarily to execute the work of printing. The entire order for printing given to a single company was shrouded in non-transparency. The quality of printing was so bad that neither these copy/books are readable nor anything can be written upon them. Highlighting that Mayawati was interested in only money Rahul Gandhi said she failed to look after the welfare of the poor. He appealed the people to vote for Congress (I) and assured that a government of the poor by Congress (I) will work for their welfare.

Rahul Gandhi in Bisalpur: For the past 22 years nothing changed in UP

All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing a mammoth election rally at Bisalpur in Pilibhit on Monday urged the people to help Congress to form a Government of the youth and the aam aadmi that works for all sections of the people. “Normally elections bring in changes at every place. It brings in new concepts too. In U.P too, we have been experiencing elections for the past 22 years. You expected positive changes and fresh concepts after every election. You had supported the Cycle as well as the Elephant. But the state of Utatr Pradesh remains the same without any development” said Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi vows to work for development of UP

Pointing out that “Your state leaders benefit by creating differences between two castes, religions, take your support in the form of votes and vanish when needed,” AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has assured the people that Congress (I) will work for development of UP.

“We will deliver what the other parties miserably failed to do in the last 22 years,” Rahul Gandhi said while addressing public meetings for the ongoing Assembly elections. Ridiculing Mayawati for doing nothing to improve the lot the people, he said indifference of BSP government towards people reached to such a level that while throughout the day the poor worked for earning their bread and during the night they feared that 'elephants' would come and snatch their day's earnings.

“The fear of elephants haunted the people throughout these past five years,” he further said. Highlighting that the only way to come out of this squalid situation was to put Congress (I) in driver’s seat in Lucknow, Rahul Gandhi fervently appealed to the people to vote for Congress (I) to make this possible. He assured that his party would provide responsible government and work for development. “We will ensure that the benefits of the schemes reach the poor,” he added.

Leaders should come to the people if we want development: Rahul Gandhi

“If you want development, your leaders should come to you, hold your hands and interact with you,” reiterated Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing a big election rally in Pilibhit as part of his campaign for Congress in Uttar Pradesh.

“There is no fault with the people of Uttar Pradesh. Your people go to Haryana, Delhi, Kerala, Karnataka, Punjab and Maharashtra and develop those places. The shining metro in Delhi was built by the people of UP though they can’t afford to travel by it. It is very sad that there are no jobs available for the youth in Uttar Pradesh,” Rahul Gandhi said.

“What do you want; jobs or unemployment allowance?” Rahul Gandhi asked. Taking a dig at Mulayam Singh Yadav’s promise to give an unemployment allowance, he added “Mulayam Singh Ji, when he was the Chief Minister, did not properly implement the Central Government’s MNREGA scheme, which assures a minimum of 100 days jobs to every poor. But now during elections he promises unemployment allowance. Had he implemented the scheme in the required manner there would have been no unemployment here”.

Mayawati shielded corrupt ministers/MLAs: Congress (I)

Blaming Mayawati for not taking any action against tainted ministers and MLAs, Congress (I) has said she shielded corrupt ministers and MLAs of her party. This not only demoralized the state administration but also encouraged corruption and goondaism, said Congress (I).

For instance, BSP MLA Subhash Yadav was accused of plotting a murderous assault on irrigation department chief engineer Anand Mohan Prasad. The incident took place on May 19, 2010 in full public view. Government officer Prasad was allegedly assaulted for not allotting construction contract to MLA's aides. But police refused to register an FIR.

This was despite irrigation department employees testified for the victim. At last Prasad had to move to the court but Mayawati did not act. Congress (I) said if this could happen to a chief engineer of a government department, what possibly could be the situation of a aam aadmi in the state under Mayawati’s corrupt government.

Mayawati bred corruption in UP: Congress (I)

Blaming Mayawati for rampant corruption in UP, Congress (I) has said this situation has been bred by Mayawati herself. Desperate to grab power she inducted corrupt politicians, opportunists and persons of criminal background. Over two dozen BSP MPs, MLAs and ministers have been booked for alleged criminal activities. Rahul Gandhi during his public meeting in poll bound UP state highlighted that the situation throughout Mayawati’s regime was no better. In May 2007, BSP MP from Machhalishahr Umakant Yadav was accused of land grabbing. State minister Anandsen Yadav was sacked after being named in sexual exploitation and murder of a dalit girl in November 2007.

BSP and SP failed to deliver their promises: Rahul Gandhi

Slamming Mayawati’s BSP and Mulayam Singh Yadav’s SP for offering empty promises to the people again and again, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has accused them of having failed repeated to deliver what they had promised to the people of Uttar Peradesh. Mayawati has been chief minister of the state for four times and Mulayam three times, said Rahul Gandhi. These leaders manipulated the governments to make money and left without doing anything for the people. Now again Yadav is promising freebees like free education, free water and free medicines after winning polls. Not to be left behind in the race Mayawati is now offering reservations to anybody just for the asking knowing well that it is a time to lull the people with promises without worrying about fulfilling them later. This vicious cycle of false promises and betrayals will not end unless the people come forward to seek change, said Rahul Gandhi. Reminding the people what ‘our party’ has already done for them, he requested the people to vote for Congress (I) for positive change.
