While addressing an election rally at Basti as part of his campaign for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said while taking a dig at BJP’s slogan ‘India Shining’ that there should be proper thought before making a slogan.
Referring 2004 Parliament elections Rahul Gandhi reminded “During the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in 2004 while other parties made a number of hollow promises Congress had only promised a government of aam aadmi that works for poor, farmers, minorities, dalits and adivasis and we delivered it”.
“But BJP and NDA brought out a slogan in English ‘India Shining. When asked about the origin of the slogan their senior leader said that they picked it from a television advertisement. They were in power for five years. But they did not go to people, talked to them or enquired about their problems, still believed blindly that India was shining.”
“I am reminding you the 2004 slogan because, I believe that there should be proper thought before finalizing a slogan. They should have gone to people to know the reality. They just coined a slogan, that too in English, without ascertaining the reality. They should feel ashamed,” said the Congress General Secretary.
“I do not make hollow promises, but will promise you only one thing that a government of aam aadmi like we did it at the Centre” he added. Stressing that he would not budge till the state's progress is in place, Rahul Gandhi said that there was a need to think of the future, which leaders of Uttar Pradesh were not doing. Rahul Gandhi said that the 22 years misrule by the non-Congress Governments in UP blocked the path of development and dragged the state backwards.
