When entire country moves up, why U.P slips backwards, asks Rahul Gandhi

Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Gaind Ghar Ground, Bahraich on the second day of his UP tour AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the Mayawati Government. He said that the BSP Government has been misusing all the welfare schemes brought in by the Central Government meant for the poor.

Expressing his anguish over the bad conditions in UP Rahul Gandhi said, “I feel angry for the fact that when the entire country moves forward, UP goes backward. When I go to Maharashtra, people belong to UP come to me and ask what will happen to us? The youth tell me that there is no future in Uttar Pradesh. No jobs are available here. How can they get jobs without having proper roads, sufficient electricity and water? If any industry wants to be set up they need roads, electricity and water. Our Government is not bothered about these.”

Reiterating the Congress’s commitment for the common man Rahul Gandhi assured, “here the state government represents only 10% of the people and the rest 90% are being ignored. But Congress wants to bring in a Government who works for the entire people. Uttar Pradesh is the biggest state in the country and used to show the path for other states. Rajiv Gandhi realized the potential of this state and made a lot of development here. You go to Maharashtra, Delhi or Haryana you can see that it is the people from UP help them to make roads and contribute for the development. But UP lags behind.”

Encouraging the Congress workers Rahul Gandhi concluded, “who will change this? The people of the state, the youth of the state and the Congress workers can only change this. We respect you and trust you. Our efforts will be to give full respect to all our workers so that we will work together to bring changes in Uttar Pradesh.”
