Nothing will happen by just giving hollow promises: Rahul Gandhi

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who has been aggressively campaigning in Uttar Pradesh for the 2012 assembly polls said that SP and BSP have been giving false promises to lure the voters. He reminded the people that these parties had made promises many a times to the people of Uttar Pradesh but forgot all those after coming to power.

“Nothing is going to happen by just giving hollow promises,” said Rahul Gandhi and added “I am here to bring in positive changes in Uttar Pradesh. Elections will come and go, but I will remain here to hold your hands and support you to work for the development of the state”.

“You changed Andhra Pradesh and Delhi. Now change U.P too” he urged. “In U.P the successive governments cared for only 10% of the people and the rest 90% were ignored. What did the minorities, backward classes get in the past 22 years?” asked Rahul Gandhi.

“We should now put an end to this bad state of affairs in U.P. So please stand up and change U.P. You have a government of aam aadmi at the Centre. Let us have a similar Government in Uttar Pradesh too. We need a government that works for all caste, religion, aam aadmi, poor, minorities, dalits and adivasis and only Congress can provide it. The moment you have a Congress Government in Uttar Pradesh, you will start witnessing developments again. Support Congress and elect our candidates,” urged Rahul Gandhi.

“I am thankful for the warm love and affection extended to me. I believe that our country cannot develop if there is a single person living in poverty. Till the poverty is eradicated completely from this country, I will stand by you,” announced Rahul Gandhi concluding his speech.

I will continue the drama of helping the poor: Rahul Gandhi

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh that he will continue his ‘drama’ of helping the aam aadmi and going to the poor throughout his life.

“When we talk about right for job, Mayawati Ji calls it a drama. When we talk about right to food BSP and SP call it a drama of the Congress. When I go the people and interact with them, it is again a drama for them. What drama they are talking about? Giving food or job to the poor a drama? If these are naatak then I will continue this naatak throughout my life” declared Rahul Gandhi and the crowd acknowledged it with applauds.

“I go to the people to realize their strength. Your hands are tied now. The moment your hands are freed, the state will start developing. For the past 22 years, your leaders never came to you. They were busy looting the public money. The magic elephant in Lucknow gobbles up the funds meant for the poor, instead of grass and leaves” he added.

“This money is not of BSP, SP, BJP or Congress. This is the money of your sweat and blood. This money is the result of hard work of farmers and labourers. If the country is developing it is because of your efforts, your blood and sweat” said Rahul Gandhi amidst applauds.
