Where were Maya and Mulayam when people were suffering, asks Rahul Gandhi

He alleged that either Mulayam Singh Yadav or Mayawati found time to go to the people to know their difficulties. Rahul Gandhi claimed it was Congress which helped the people of U.P whenever they faced any crisis.

“Where were they (SP and BSP) when you required them? Where were they when your money was getting looted? Where were they when we had sent funds under MGNREGA?” asked Rahul Gandhi.

Then he asked the crowd “How many of you are farmers? When a number of people raised their hands Rahul Gandhi asked “Do you remember our policy to waive off loans of the poor farmers? The farmers approached Mulayam Singh Ji and Mayawati Ji. Did they help you? Did they open the doors of banks for you? Who helped you? It was the Congress who helped you because we realize your strength as well as your difficulties. We are aware that the country cannot move forward without the farmers and labourers.

I will never make hollow promises says Rahul Gandhi in Ambedkar Nagar

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who has been campaigning in Uttar Pradesh for the upcoming assembly elections said that political parties other than the Congress make heap of promises during election campaign but forget those after the polls.

“I will not make hollow promises, but will promise you only one thing, a government of aam aadmi, like we did it at the Centre” he added stressing that he would not budge till the state's progress is in place.

Referring 2004 Parliament elections Rahul Gandhi reminded “During the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in 2004 while other parties made a number of hollow promises Congress had only promised a government of aam aadmi that works for poor, farmers, minorities, dalits and adivasis and we delivered it”.

“But BJP and NDA brought out a slogan in English ‘India Shining. When asked about the origin of the slogan their senior leader said that they picked it from a television advertisement. They were in power for five years. But they did not go to people, talked to them or enquired about their problems, they did not ask the women about their issues, still believed blindly that India was shining.”

“I am reminding you the 2004 slogan because, I want to prove that the today’s leaders do not go to people or interact with them,” said the Congress General Secretary.
