Rahul Gandhi questions Mulayam’s pro-minority stance

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public rally in Ambedkar Nagar as part of his U.P election campaign ridiculed the double-stance of SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav’s on minority welfare.

“SP talks a lot about minorities. But when Rasheed Masood raised this issue of reservation for minorities he was expelled” said Rahul Gandhi referring the expelled former SP leader Rasheed Masood who joined Congress.

On Bunkars relief package he said “Bunkars in U.P had approached me. They pleaded for assistance as they face a lot of difficulties. They informed that they had approached both SP and BSP but no one listened to them. They also shared that they are not able to secure loan from anywhere. We took them to the Prime Minister and the Centre approved a relief package for the Bunkars. We introduced a Bunkar credit card and also helped them to get loan upto two lac rupees”.

He then added “We had not made any promise to the Bunkars that I would help them. But when they came to me and conveyed their difficulties, we helped them. We will do whatever we can do for all sections of the society. Where was Mayawati Ji or Mulayam Ji when poor Bunkars were crying for help?”

Rahul Gandhi promised that the state of Uttar Pradesh will again surge ahead if the people elected a Congress Government in the state.

Mayawati mismanaging the UP government: Congress (I)

Congress (I) has said Mayawati had won 2007 elections on the promise to provide the people of the state a corruption free government. However, what has happened is just the opposite. Corruption increased to the extent that as Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi put it presently Mayawati is running the most corrupt government in the country. There is a corruption every where. For instance, lime, sand, quarry stone mines have leased in money non-transparent, manipulative manner; and tender have been rigged in connivance with the ministers and legislators. Illegal tax known as hafta, which is now known in the whole of U.P. as Maya Tax is being forcibly collected. All government contracts from liquor licences to road construction contract are being given to BSP sympathetic thekedars. Even the beneficiaries of social welfare schemes have not been spared. They are made to shell out ‘forced payment’. Congress (I) said people are eagerly awaiting Congress (I) to resume power in UP and cleanse the corruption from the state.
