Mayawati helped the rich, not the poor: Rahul Gandhi


Blasting Mayawati for having been chief minister of the state for four times yet the plight of the poor remains the same, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that she helped only the rich and not the poor. She has been following anti-poor, anti-people and anti-farmer policies, Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a public meeting in Jewar, Noida on February 23 for the ongoing Assembly elections. 
She does what benefits her and not that benefits the people, he further said.  Referring to Bhatta-Parsaul brutal incident, he said Mayawati did injustice with the farmers.  Their lands were forcibly taken over in the name of development and handed over to corporate builders.  When the poor farmers asked for fair compensation for their lands, Rahul Gandhi said they were dubbed as ‘naxals’ and bullets were fired upon them, their property destroyed and their women dishonored. This is what Mayawati did for the poor, he added.
Highlighting that the only way to ensure welfare of the people and over all  development of the state was to put Congress (I) in driver’s seat in Lucknow, Rahul Gandhi fervently appealed to the people to vote for Congress (I) to make this possible.  Assuring fast track development he said, “Give us 5 years and we will show you what we can do. We will change the face of the state and you will be able to see the impact in five years,” he added.
