Gender justice, women empowerment is high on the agenda for Rahul Gandhi

For newly appointed Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, gender justice and women empowerment are high on the agenda. Taking cognsiance of reports of the alleged rape of 11 minor tribal girls in Chattisgarh within a government run residential school, Rahul Gandhi has urged the Youth Congress and NSUI members in the state to take up the issue and compel the BJP state government to take action.

Rahul Gandhi had also recently visited the family of the Delhi gang rape victim alongwith Congress President Sonia Gandhi, soon after the Centre issued an ordinance on sexual assault paving the way for death penalty for rape in certain cases.    

Congress MP and former Women and Child Development Minister Renuka Chowdhury is also in Chattisgarh to protest against the BJP led state government’s inaction in ensuring justice to the rape victims who are minors. Chowdhury said, “The incidents took place in August last year but have come to light only now. The state government is not allowing a free and fair enquiry, they are more interested in sweeping things under the carpet.” Chowdhury emphasizes that the victims in this case were minor tribal girls between the ages of five and 12 and were under the care of their warden and school staff, who turned out to be their aggressors.

The Congress-led Centre had in the wake of the horrific Delhi gang rape incident in December, committed to bringing in stronger laws to tackle crimes against women. When the elder brother of the Delhi gang rape victim urged that one of the accused who is a juvenile should not be allowed to get away with a light sentence on the plea that he is a juvenile, Rahul Gandhi reportedly assuaged his concerns but added that “the law had to take its course.” He also informed them about the steps being taken by the government such as the Ordinance on sexual assault to ensure better safety and security for women.

Sonia Gandhi, who is also the UPA Chairperson, had met the family earlier, and was reportedly keen to stay in touch with them and assure them that "their daughter’s life had not gone in vain."

MNREGA funds went to Mayawati Ministers: Rahul Gandhi

Hitting out against Mayawati for depriving the poor of the benefits of central sponsored welfare schemes, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said her ministers looted MNREGA money meant for providing employment to the poor. MNREGA has benefited the poor in all Congress (I) ruled states while in UP her ministers looted the money leaving nothing for the poor, said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning in the poll bound state. A few instances will highlight the misdeeds of her government on this account. One and a half lakh calendars in the name of MNREGA @ Rs 31/- each were purchased. What for? Certainly they were not for the poor. Tents of Rs. 80 lakhs and first-aid boxes of lakhs were again purchased. Even toys of Rs. 37 lakhs were purchased. In yet other case laptops were purchased from MNREGA money while poor were denied employment under the scheme. Highlighting that Mayawati’s has no real sympathy with dalits, Rahul Gandhi, urged the people to show her the door. He appealed the people to vote this time for Congress (I) and promised that a government of the poor by Congress (I) would ensure that the benefits of welfare scheme reach them.

Rahul Gandhi has been leading the Congress campaign in the poll bound Uttar Pradesh which is going to polls in February 2012.

Rahul Gandhi: Aam admi in UP looking towards Congress (I)

Slamming Mayawati for troubles the people of UP have gone through under her corrupt government, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that aam admi in Uttar Pradesh cutting across caste and community line is now turning to Congress (I) for providing stable and progressive government in the state. This is the impression one gets all over the state. Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav have been ruling the state alternatively by playing caste-based vote bank politics ignoring the aam admi altogether, said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning for the upcoming Assembly elections. The aam admi is now frustrated with both of these leaders for befooling them all along. Minority community has expressed dislike for BSP and SP because these parties have done nothing for the Muslim population, said Rahul Gandhi. Highlighting that for Mayawati Muslims are only hostages in her game of politics, Rahul Gandhi urged the people not to play into their tricks anymore. He requested them to give this time a chance to Congress (I) and promised that Congress (I) would put the state back on fast track development and they will see the change in five years.
