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”.
