Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing a massive election rally in Hapur as part of his campaign for the ongoing assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, said that the mission of the non-Congress parties which ruled UP in the last 22 years has been to loot the public.
“The reason is that the present leaders in UP are not bothered about the people. After coming to power they do not go to the people or talk to the farmers, labourers and poor to know their problems. The people here put in their hard work in the sugar mills and potato fields. But there was a Rs. 2000 crore scam in the sale of sugar mills in UP,” he reminded.
“This money is yours. This money is the result of your hard work. The mill was of the people,” asserted Rahul Gandhi.
“We (Congress) also run a Government at the Centre, from 2004. We came to you and enquired about your difficulties. When we realized the problems of the farmers we designed a policy to waive-off the loans for them worth Rs. 60000 crore. We fought for the farmers in Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul. What did the state Government do for the farmers? It grabbed their lands and sold it to the rich builders. When the poor farmers demanded adequate compensation, they received bullets. No one from BSP or SP visited them. But when I went there, Mayawati Ji and Mulayam Ji call me mad,” argued Rahul Gandhi.
