BSP ministers and magic elephant eat up Central funds: Rahul Gandhi

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who had headed campaign for Congress in Uttar Pradesh had addressed various public rallies, road shows and Congress meetings in the state to boost the morale of the Congress workers. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, Congress is expecting a better performance in the state.

The Congress leader alleged that whenever the Congress makes policies for the welfare of the poor and underprivileged the opposition raised a number of questions. But if the policy benefits the rich and elite they keep quite. Rahul Gandhi also attacked Mayawati for not going to people to realize their pain. “We talk about the rights of the poor but Mayawati calls it a drama of Congress. We send huge funds to UP under various schemes. But it is usurped by the ministers and the magic elephant in Lucknow,” said Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi also lashed out at both Maya and Mulayam for not doing anything in the matter of reservation for the minorities. The Congress leader claimed that it was Congress who finally granted reservation for the minorities. Rahul Gandhi questioned Mayawati’s intention behind axing the corrupt ministers at the end of the tenure of her Government. The Congress General Secretary blamed the 22 years of non-Congress Governments in UP for the lack of development in the state. He repeated his promise that a Congress Government will bring back developments in Uttar Pradesh like it has been doing in all the Congress-ruled states.

“You wasted 22 years by opting for non-Congress Governments. You first elected BJP; they had sought votes in the name of Lord Ram. They became the dealers of Lord Ram. Then you voted for Mulayam Singh. He promised development but criminals ruled police stations. You were angry with him and then you elected Mayawati in 2007. Half of her ministers are in jail. The land of poor farmers was forcibly acquired by her Government without paying adequate compensation,” said Rahul Gandhi.

“We should think about changing the bad state of affairs in UP. You have the strength in you and you have the knowledge. You can definitely change your state and it is not a difficult thing to do” asserted Rahul Gandhi.
