Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi addressed a huge election rally in Moradabad as part of his campaign for Congress in Uttar Pradesh where assembly elections are underway. He also repeated that he has come not for making promises but to fight for a change on Uttar Pradesh.
“There is a Congress Government at the Centre from 2004, we came to you and enquired about your difficulties, you told us that there are no jobs available in villages. That is how Mahatma Gandhi NREGA came into existence. Every poor is guaranteed with hundred days of job at a daily wage of Rs. 120,” said Rahul Gandhi. “This was the concept of the people. We just implemented it. This scheme is not meant for any particular caste or religion, but for the entire poor,” he added.
“You go to any of the Congress ruled states like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala or Haryana and ask anyone in the villages about MNREGA. They will admit that they have been benefitted by this scheme. But the people of UP could not avail its benefits. Mayawati Ji says that this policy is not beneficial for UP. SP and BJP ask from where we will have the money for the same. This money is the result of the hard work put in by the poor in the country. It is the result of their sweat and blood. But it is being looted in UP. They don’t think about the people”, said Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi.
