Assembly elections in
Uttar Pradesh where Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, Mayawati and Akhilesh
Yadav addressed various election rallies on Thursday.
Congress
general secretary Rahul Gandhi flayed non-Congress govts of the state
for doing nothing over the past 22 years and said that whatever
development is seen in Rae Bareli and Amethi has been because of the
Centre.
"I
ask you...what has been done by the state government in the past 22
years...something must have been done... Mayawati and Mulayam Singh
came...I can't see anything, I come to your homes...whatever change we
can see in Rae Bareli and Amethi has been done by the central
government. State government has done nothing", Rahul said at an
election meeting in Paterva village in Uchahar Assembly segment on
Thursday.
Asking
the electorate to help Congress candidates post victories, he said that
he has been, "fighting your battle in Uttar Pradesh since the past
two-three months and would continue to do so but you would also have to
fight it as it is also the struggle of the people and women and their
future".
Gandhi,
who was accompanied by veteran Congress leader Motilal Vora, said that
thousands of crores of rupees have been provided by the central
government but it has been misused by ministers in the state.
Referring to people from the state going out for work because of lack of jobs, he said that they go to Maharashtra but Shiv Sena activists chase them away.
Continuing
his attack on election promises of political opponents, he said that
leaders of other parties promise free power although in the past 22
years no new power plant has been set up here.
"How will they provide power", he asked adding that promises are being made that Bundelkhand would be turned into Israel why did it not get anything.
On the local issues, he said that hurdles were created in setting up Rail Coach Factory and Sonia Gandhi fought for it.
On corruption, he said that centre gives funds for Indira avas but money is sought from people for this also.
