Rahul Gandhi flays Mulayam’s stance on Muslim reservation

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while speaking at a huge public rally in Moradabad as part of his campaign for Congress in the recently held Uttar Pradesh assembly polls had slammed SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav for his double speak on reservation for backward Muslims. Rahul Gandhi had also repeated that he has come not for making promises but to fight for a change in Uttar Pradesh.

Rahul Gandhi asked whether Mulayam Singh did anything for the Muslims in the past 22 years. “Did the youth get proper education?” Rahul Gandhi asked further. “But Congress implemented Sachar Commission’s recommendations. When we sent the money for scholarship to Uttar Pradesh that got vanished in Lucknow. The funds reach Kerala and Lakshadweep properly though these places are far away from Delhi. But the same is not able to reach the people in UP which is only at a stone throwing distance from Delhi. The magic elephant in Lucknow gobbles up the entire funds,” alleged the Congress leader.

“When media persons had asked Mulayam Ji about his stand on reservation, he did not utter any word. But when Congress, Manmohan Singh Ji and Sonia Ji went ahead with reservation, he complained that it was inadequate. He was the Chief Minister in UP thrice. Why did not he do anything then? When Rasheed Masood Ji talked about reservation he was expelled from SP,” said Rahul Gandhi questioning the doublespeak of SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on the issue of reservation.
