Ridiculing BSP for occasional doling out of money to poor people as state charity, AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said Congress (I) is working for empowerment of poor. In the modern times education is of prime importance for any activity, Rahul Gandhi said while campaigning for the ongoing Assembly elections. Congress (I) has therefore brought Right to Education Act which makes available right of education to every child irrespective of financial status of his or her parents whether they can afford it or not. This right has been backed up with appropriate financial allocations and ancillary programs to complement it. In 2011-12, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan allocation stands at Rs 21,000 crore. Highlighting that Mayawati has been playing upon emotions of the poor only to get their votes, Rahul Gandhi said the poor have not benefited in any way under her regime. He appealed the people to vote for Congress (I) and assured that a government of the poor by Congress (I) will work for welfare of the poor and dalits.
