Rahul Gandhi: It is shameful that people frame slogan watching TV

Rahul Gandhi, the Congress General Secretary who has been spearheading the Congress campaign in the poll bound Uttar Pradesh said that BJP coined the slogan ‘India Shining’ by watching a TV advertisement. He alleged that BJP thought that India was shining without ascertaining the realities in the country where there were no sufficient jobs, roads, water or electricity when NDA was in power for five years prior 2004.

Referring 2004 Parliament elections Rahul Gandhi reminded “During the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in 2004 while other parties made a number of hollow promises Congress had only promised a government of aam aadmi that works for poor, farmers, minorities, dalits and adivasis and we delivered it”.

“But BJP and NDA brought out a slogan in English ‘India Shining. When asked about the origin of the slogan their senior leader said that they picked it from a television advertisement. They were in power for five years. But they did not go to people, talked to them or enquired about their problems, they did not ask the women about their issues, still believed blindly that India was shining,” said Rahul Gandhi.

“You gave them a befitting reply. You decided that you trust Congress, Manmohan Singh and Sonia Ji and elected a Congress Government”, he added.

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.
