State government has done nothing", Rahul

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.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise.
