Rahul Gandhi at Bahraich says "a leader should go to the people to know ...

AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi began his five-day tour of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday from Barabanki. He criticized the non-Congress Governments in the state for not doing anything constructively for the development in Uttar Pradesh. He also alleged that the welfare funds sent by the UPA Government at the centre are not reaching the poor man.
Rahul Gandhi went on to say "till your leader goes to the people, experiences the problems being faced by them, stays with them, eat at their home and drink water from their houses, he cannot understand the gravity of their pain. When I go to the villages some people laugh at me. They ask whey Rahul Gandhi is going to a dalit or a poor man's home. Rahul Gandhi goes to a poor man's home to understand their issues, to realize their strength. The strength the poor people of Uttar Pradesh have, you will not see anywhere. But in U.P there are no facilities or infrastructure available. No adequate water, roads or electricity here. So people from U.P go to other places like Maharashtra and Punjab".
