People have the knowledge says Rahul Gandhi in Pilibhit

“People have the knowledge” said Rahul Gandhi – the Congress General Secretary – while addressing a mammoth election rally in Pilibhit as part of his campaign in poll bound Uttar Pradesh said that the leaders in UP are not going to the people for the past 22 years.

Rahul Gandhi then shared one of his experiences with the crowd. “I went to a hospital in UP where some painting and renovation works were going on. I went inside. There were no doctors, patients or nurses. Dogs were scampering inside. I asked them what is going on. They said that Mayawati is on a tour to this area and she will be visiting the hospital and therefore the renovation. As she was expected to take the road route so the roads were being repaired and the hospital building was being painted,” he said and added “This is the situation in the state”.

“These leaders do not want to go to the villages, meet the people, share their meals or drink water from their huts. They think that the duty of the leaders is to talk to the media, give lectures and make promises. But a true leader will go to the people, talk to them and enquire about their issues,” Rahul Gandhi told the crowd.

“We have a Planning Commission in Delhi. The bureaucrats there think that they are the epitome of knowledge about development. I have interacted with them and I have also interacted with the farmers and aam aadmi. If you want to gather information about agriculture, go to the farmers. Or if you want to know about the roads, talk to the workers. The women and the youth in our country possess tremendous knowledge. But these leaders are not interested to gather the same because they are not keen for development,” argued Rahul Gandhi.
