He said that when drought struck in Bundelkhand, Mayawati and Mulayam Singh did not go there. “I went and got a financial package worth Rs 8,000 crore but the money was stolen. We sent tractors for farmers but the minister gave it to his children. All the money we send gets stolen,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi assured that only a Congress Government can put an end to the bad state of affairs in the state. “You gave 22 years to others. Now give five years to Congress. We changed Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Kerala. Now let us change U.P too”.
