Kick starting the Congress campaign in poll bound Uttarakhand, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi struck the chord with the people by addressing a huge rally at Parade Ground, Dehradun. He lashed out at the BJP Government in the state. Rahul Gandhi said that it was the Congress which first talked about the rights of the people. He asserted that Congress will provide a Government which thinks about the future and development of Uttarakhand.
“We made a revolutionary programme by the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. By this programme we connected development with power. We found that no jobs are available in the villages. People are forced to migrate to big cities. Rich were getting jobs but the poor in the villages got no jobs. So we introduced MGNREGA to guarantee jobs for all. We ensured that the jobs reached to the villages by this scheme. All the poor in the country are now guaranteed to get a job if they want. This is not mere a scheme but a law now,” he claimed and continued “Earlier only MPs, MLAs or bureaucrats were able to gather any information about the Government officers or its actions. The common man were not having any right to gather any such information. But by bringing the Right to Information (RTI) Act, UPA ensured that this power reaches to all the people in the country. When this was implemented a number of cases of corruption came out. A heap of concealed information could be brought out. By the Right to Education (RTE) policy every poor children was ensured education. The Mid-day-meal scheme acted as a catalyst to help the poor children to attend school regularly”.
