Priyanka Gandhi Vadra: Rahul Gandhi tours the entire state to bring about change in U.P

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who is on a campaign trial for Congress in Amethi and Raebareli attended eight public meetings and over 15 roadside interactions with people in Amethi reminding people of Rahul Gandhi’s hard work in contrast with opportunistic politics of other parties in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra began her election campaign in assembly constituencies falling in the Lok Sabha constituency of Amethi, from where her brother Rahul Gandhi is the Member of Parliament.

Priyanka Gandhi has campaigned in Rae Bareli and Amethi before, but this time she is more aggressive and is taking up one Assembly constituency at a time. She started her campaign from Amethi’s Balbhadrapur.

“Before the 2007 election also, I had come to you seeking votes but you did not listen to me and see what you got in return. Did your MLA ever come back to you? While central government built roads and provided you water, your MLA built a palatial house with the money that was meant for you,” Priyanka Gandhi told the gathering at Balbhadrapur.

Calling Rahul stubborn, Priyanka Gandhi reminded people that how Rahul Gandhi was touring the entire state to bring about change in Uttar Pradesh. “You know how Rahul is. He is stubborn. He is touring the entire state because he wants that you should wake up now and change the state. He is not bothered about election results. All he wants is to bring about change in the state for the better.”

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Balbhadrapur, Amethi (U.P) on 3 Feb 2012

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra “Rahul Gandhi is committed to remove the backwardness of U.P”

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra kick-started her second leg of campaign in Amethi and Raebareli by addressing a meeting at Balbhadrapur in Amethi on Friday.
“You know that this is election time and people come to you seeking your support. I too have come (laughs). I had sought your support in 2007 too, but you did not honour my request. What did you get in five years? The roads you see were built by the Centre. The facilities for water also were given by the Centre. What did your MLA do? Definitely he did one thing; he built a luxurious bungalow for himself and that too with your money. This state of affairs is not the case of your place only; the entire U.P is like this,” said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra starting her address.
“I had met my fellow workers last week. One Congress worker told me that the MLA here has not indulged in assaulting anybody; didn’t send anyone to jail, not victimized anyone, did not grab lands of others. And more importantly he hasn’t got anyone assassinated. This is the situation here,” she added.
“The people here are deprived off their rights. The narrow politics in the past 22 years have destroyed the state. The politics here thrives on divisive ideologies. Now you please think yourself”, urged Priyanka Gandhi.
“Who is a leader? He should be your servant. He should have been among you and not on the stage. It is very sad that you are forced to beg for your rights,” she told.
“When you will realize this? When you will wake up? You suffered for the past 22 years. They betrayed you in the name of caste and religion. Where is the development here? You go to Maharashtra or Andhra Pradesh and experience the progress there. You can understand what the meaning of development is. Young people of Uttar Pradesh are forced to go to those places and work there,” wondered Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
“Now you have a chance after 22 years to change the state of affairs. You know Rahul Ji. He is very stubborn. He has been working hard and putting in all tremendous effort. I once asked Rahul Ji what he would get by putting this much amount of hard work. He responded that he is never bothered about the election results. Uttar Pradesh is now backward and he wants to bring in positive changes,” she informed.
“Now this is the time to think about a change. This is not the question of pride and honour of my family. But it is the question of your prestige. It is the question of the future of your children. So think yourself. It is evident that no satisfactory development took place in your region. Think about your region as well as your state. Strengthen the hands of Congress. You will witness how the state progresses,” urged Priyanka Gandhi.
“During elections many parties and leaders come to you. I also do come (laughs). But you have the wisdom to understand the real intention of the parties and its leaders. You have the strength. Nothing will happen without the power of the people. The assembly elections are on 15th February. Think for a positive change and think about strengthening Congress. You will have a MLA who understands your problems and to solve those. Thank you. Jai hind,” she concluded.
