Addressing various public meetings in the state of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the BSP Government ignored the plights of the people and misused the welfare funds sent by the Centre for the welfare of the poor.
Flaying Mayawati the Congress leader added, “Mayawati says that there is no benefit for the people of U.P by the NREGA policy. You may ask people in Kerala, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi or Assam. Everyone will admit that they were benefitted by the NREGA policy. They will agree that they could get jobs, respect and a feeling that a Government supported them”.
On Bundelkhand package approved by the Congress-led Government at the Centre Rahul Gandhi said “I had personally requested Mayawati Ji to visit drought-hit Bundelkhand but she refused. I had gone there and interacted with the affected people. They complained that the U.P Government never cared for them. We therefore took up the issue seriously and requested the intervention of the Prime Minister. When he realized the gravity of the situation a relief package of Rs. 8000 crore was sanctioned by the Prime Minister,” he informed.
When the big crowd applauded Rahul Gandhi made a quick comment, “Now you clap for the achievement. But are you really angry or sad to know about this? For the past 22 years you have been clapping while appreciating the Congress Government at the Centre. When you will have a Congress Government in U.P, you will get a chance to appreciate that Government too”.
