Addressing a mammoth rally at Sidhauli, Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh as part of the third phase of his campaign for Congress All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi once again criticized the twenty two years non-Congress Governments in U.P for the bad state of affairs. Rahul Gandhi promised that, given a chance, the Congress will bring back developments in Uttar Pradesh like it did in all Congress ruled states.
Taking another dig at the opposition Rahul Gandhi went on to say “whenever we make policies for the poor, the opposition including Mayawatiji raise a number of questions. They ask from where we would have the money for the welfare schemes. But we showed them from where we can have money. There is no shortage of funds today. We believe that the country cannot shine even a single poor man is left”.
He then repeated his anguish about leaders not visiting the masses and said “Today your leaders do not come to you, talk to you or listen to you. There was a time when Mulayamji used to come to you to realize your problems. But he changed now and stopped coming to you. Till the leaders come to you and interact with you they cannot understand poverty. You will feel that all is well when you travel by helicopter. The conditions at grass root level are pathetic here.”
To substantiate his leader-aam aadmi theory Rahul Gandhi cited one of his personal experiences. “I went to a hospital in UP where some painting and renovation works were going on. I went inside. There were no doctors, patients or nurses. Four-five dogs were scampering inside. I asked them what is going on. They said that Mayawati is on a tour to this area and she will be visiting the hospital and therefore the renovation. As she was expected to take the road route from the helipad the roads were being repaired and the hospital building was being painted. This is the state of affairs ion your state.”
