Kick starting the Congress campaign in poll bound Uttarakhand, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi struck the chord with the people by addressing a huge rally at Parade Ground, Dehradun. He lashed out at the BJP Government in the state. Rahul Gandhi said that it was the Congress which first talked about the rights of the people. He asserted that Congress will provide a Government which thinks about the future and development of Uttarakhand.
Recalling his early education in the Doon School here, he said that his father sent him for schooling to Dehradun, not because of the hills and beautiful scenery, but the fact that the city was an educational centre of the country. “Sadly this was not worked upon to make it an international educational hub by the government of the day”, he added . “Years back, I studied in the Doon School here in Dehradun. I learnt a lot from this place. I liked the place and the people here”.
Referring the ideologies of Congress and BJP Rahul Gandhi said “Election is round the corner. Here the fight is between two ideologies”. He continued “In 2004 there was a clash between these two ideologies. We promised a Government of aam aadmi and we delivered it. As a result the country showed signs of development. The poor, farmers, common man, businessmen, industrialists all contributed and our country developed”. Taking a dig at BJP he added “When we made only single promise, a government that would work for the common man, our opponents brought out a slogan ‘India Shining’. They did not go to the villages. They forgot the poor people in the country, but coined this slogan in English. When people asked from where they got this slogan, they answered that they found in TV that India is shining”. Rahul Gandhi said that BJP scripted it while sitting inside their AC bungalows without noting that country cannot shine without sufficient electricity, water or roads. “So while other parties made a number of hollow promises we promised a government that works for the aam aadmi, poor, dalits and adivasis. People gave a befitting reply by electing an aam aadmi government of the Congress” added the Congress General Secretary.
