Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that Congress just frame policies after getting the ideas from the people. It is the people who give us concepts, we go to the people to know it, he added. He was speaking at an election rally in Kanpur as part of his campaign for congress in Uttar Pradesh where the assembly elections are underway.
“There is a Congress Government at the Centre. In 2004, we came to you and enquired about your difficulties, you told us that there are no jobs available in villages. That is how Mahatma Gandhi NREGA came into existence. Every poor is guaranteed with hundred days of job at a daily wage of Rs. 120,” said Rahul Gandhi.
“We realize the strength of the farmers as well as their pain. We are aware of their hard work. So we went to them. They informed us that the doors of the banks are closed for them and also that they carry the burden of heavy debts. We therefore approved a relief package worth Rs. 60000 crore for them and opened the doors of the banks for the farmers,” said Rahul Gandhi, referring to the relief package for the farmers.
He also informed, “Now we are ready with the right to food legislation. We want no one in our country should live in hunger. By this policy every poor family is assured with 35kg of food grain”.
“It is the people who give us ideas, we just implement it. From 2004, I have been visiting various villages, meeting the people, sharing their meals and drinking water from them. I go to the people to realise the strength of the people. Only the people in the villages can bring in changes,” said Rahul Gandhi amidst loud applause.
