Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi in Sidhauli (U.P) Part 5

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.
“When the entire Bundelkhand region was badly affected by the drought, Mayawatiji did not find it suitable to go there. I also requested her to visit Bundelkhand, but she did not pay a visit,” he added.
“I come to you. I share your meals. Drink water from your well and sometimes even fall ill. I have kept on doing this for the past seven years. All because I want to know the real issues of the poor and aam aadmi,” he said amidst cheers of acknowledgement.
“Has your CM (Mayawati) come to you in the past five years? Has she talked to you? Has she drunk water from your well? Is she travelling through the shabby roads here? ” asked Rahul Gandhi and the huge crowd responded with a big ‘no’.
“Your people go to Mumbai, Delhi, Assam, Manipur or Punjab for jobs. You built the shining Metro in Delhi. When the entire Delhi sleeps you work overnight. Your people go as far as Ladak for work. I asked people of UP I met in Ladak. They said that they had no option as there were no jobs available in UP,” argued Rahul Gandhi.
Then the young Congress leader reminded, “it is your responsibility to put an end to these bad affairs in Uttar Pradesh. You need leaders who come to you, listen to you and understand you. If you need a change you need a Government who thinks about your future, your children’s education and the future of the young generation”.
“You wasted 22 years of the state by electing non-Congress Governments” asserted Rahul Gandhi and continued “in UP non-Congress parties have been talking about caste and religion at the cost of welfare of poor. They work only for 10% of the society and ignored the rest 90%. They talked about particular caste only and did not bother about the people as a whole. This is not the matter of politics but is of your future”.
