Rahul Gandhi: MNREGA funds pocketed by BSP ministers and leaders in UP

While addressing a mammoth public rally in Barabanki during his Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the non-Congress governments in the state for the lack of development in Uttar Pradesh.

Underlining that leaders should go to the people to understand their issues, Rahul Gandhi went on to say, “till the time your leader goes to the people, experiences their problems, stays with them, eat at their home and drink water from their houses they cannot understand their issues”. “When I go to the villages some people laugh at me. They question why Rahul Gandhi is going to a dalit’s or a poor man’s home. Well, I go to them to understand their issues and to derive inspiration from their strength” said Rahul Gandhi.

“The strength the poor people of Uttar Pradesh is unmatched. But UP lacks even the basic facilities and infrastructure. There are no roads or electricity or even adequate potable water. So people from UP are forced go to other states like Maharashtra and Punjab, concerned the Congress MP from Amethi”

Rahul Gandhi continued, “If you ask the people of Punjab they would say that without the workforce from UP they cannot progress. You go to Maharashtra, they will admit that a large number of persons from UP are working there”. Rahul Gandhi added that people from Uttar Pradesh are forced to migrate to other cities as there are no sufficient jobs available in UP. “The funds meant for roads, electricity and water are being misused by the UP Government. Your future is being destroyed. Only you can change this,” warned the Congress leader.
