Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, who visited Uttarakhnad as part of his Congress campaign in the state rubbished the 2004 'India Shining' campaign slogan of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and said that the country will not shine if leaders continue to sit in air-conditioned houses.
Addressing a huge public rally in Haldwani Rahul Gandhi said: "The BJP leaders never visited a village nor talked to the farmers. They never asked the labourers about their problems but gave a slogan, 'India Shining'."
Rahul Gandhi further said that the clean up act of removing tainted ministers was fake, and aimed to win public sympathy. "Before three months of the elections, BJP brought Khanduri saying that the move was necessary," said Rahul Gandhi.
"In Uttar Pradesh too, the chief minister Mayawati sacked about 20 ministers around three months ago. They were busy in corrupt practices since past five years, but it was three months ago Mayawati removed them saying that they were corrupt. The axed corrupt leaders did not join Congress, but moved to BJP," added the Congress General Secretary.
Rahul Gandhi further attacked BJP for changing their stance over the passage of Lokpal Bill in the Winter Session of Parliament, saying that the Congress led Central Government could not be held responsible for the failure to pass an effective anti-corruption bill.
"Congress had said that the Lokpal should be a constitutional body like the Election Commission. It should work under anyone's pressure rather it should be a constitutional body and it should function independently but the BJP leaders who went on an anti- corruption rally discarded the bill in the Parliament by pressing the red button," added Rahul Gandhi.
