Rahul Gandhi unravels UP poll campaign in Phulpur

The Indian National Congress kicked in poll campaign, a few days ago, in Uttar Pradesh for the Assembly election due January next year. The Congress’ face of the UP campaign Rahul Gandhi hit the campaign trail from Phulpur.

This is the constituency, about 30 km from Allahabad, Rahul’s great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru once used to contest elections from.

Sources say the Congress MP from Amethi will speak on the law and order situation in the state. He has recently been exposing a lot of deficiencies in the ruling state government under the BSP chief Mayawati.

By projecting Rahul Gandhi as its poster boy the Congress' strategy seems to be relying on legacy to bring in votes. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi was never pushed as the sole face of the party during any state election.

The Grand old party has taken a big gamble or you can say it has played its trump card for the much awaited political battle in the heartland state of India. To know if it is a show or a fold is everyone curious about.

Farmers shot dead, atrocities against the womenfolk: Rahul

The Youth Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seemed angry over plight of the farmers in the state and the law and order situation at the aftermath of farmers’ agitation in Bhatta-Parsaul. He was addressing the masses at the Phulpur rally yesterday.

“In Bhatta-Parsaul, farmers were shot dead; atrocities were committed against the womenfolk. See what court says, what newspapers say – women were the victims of heinous crimes. Why? Why did this happen - because the land there was being snatched from them,” said the AICC general secretary.

The young MP from Amethi added, “Over 2000 km of land between Noida to Gorakhpur is being snatched from the farmers. Who are being given the lands? They are being given to the rich builders. The amount of money the farmers should get against the lands is not being given to them.”

Rahul Gandhi has thrown light over the plight of the farmers and their families in Bhatta-Parsaul and the sufferings they unfortunately had to go under. The UP poll bigule has gone off. How people connect to Rahul’s words is a thing to see.
