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.
Informing the gathering regarding the proposed Land Acquisition Amendment Bill Rahul Gandhi continued, “when rich sell their land they get the market price. But in UP under Mayawati Government if a poor farmer sells his land and asks for adequate compensation he got bullets. In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul striking farmers including women were assaulted by the BSP Government. Neither Mayawati nor Mulayam Singh Yadav went there. But I went there to understand their problems. Not only that, the Congress drafted a new Land Acquisition Bill to ensure that the poor farmers get adequate compensation for their lands.”
“We gave the right to food, right to education and now we are going to implement the right to food policy too. But your Chief Minister who is readying for the polls says that the Right to food is of no use like she said in the case of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. She is getting her magic elephant ready to eat up the huge funds meant for this scheme too,” said the Congress General Secretary amidst cheers.
“We do not make hollow promises. We believe in delivering good for the aam aadmi. From 2004 we have been serving the poor. Our intention is to strengthen the hands of the poor,” claimed Rahul Gandhi.
