Addressing a Congress workers’ rally at Tirwa, Kannauj on the final day of his second phase campaigning in Uttar Pradesh All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the state can be developed only if we will have a government of aam aadmi. Rahul Gandhi promised that a Congress Government in the state assembly will guide the state to the top position again.
Reiterating Congress’ commitment towards the cause of farmers’ Rahul Gandhi said, “UPA is committed towards the welfare of the farmers. The intention behind the Central government to waive off loan worth Rs 60,000 crore was to serve the common man. We opened the doors of the banks for the farmers. When we decided to waive-off farmers’ loan and brought in MGNREGA and other welfare schemes, the opposition parties asked us from where will the Government arrange money for this? If we do anything for the rich and elite they keep silent but if we draft policies for the aam aadmi they raise a number of questions.”
Rahul Gandhi also supported the UPA Government plan for allowing FDI in retail sector. “I interacted with locals who are engaged in the cultivation of potato. They showed that the potatoes go waste and being eaten up by rodents, as they are unable to sell it for the right price. That is why we thought about helping farmers and so brought out the proposal for FDI in retail. The UPA Government wants to allow FDI in retail sector with an intention to help the farmers. But the opposition parties have blocked it,” he added.
