Change necessary for progress in UP: Rahul Gandhi

Hitting hard against Mayawati government for rampant corruption, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said change is necessary for the state to progress. The benefits of welfare schemes are not reaching the poor because “An elephant sitting in Lucknow is eating all your money,” said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting in UP for the upcoming Assembly elections. He was referring to Mayawati’s BSP party whose symbol is elephant. Mayawati is responsible for atrocious corruption in the state. As a result corrupt officials pocket funds sent by Congress (I)-led UPA central government for development as well as welfare schemes. Rahul Gandhi urged the people to vote for chance this time to reverse the situation continuing over the last two decades under BJP, BSP and SP governments. He assured that Congress (I) would put the state on the fast track development.
