The Congress president said the UPA government’s measures like the UID scheme or Aadhar will give all citizens the right to identity. “But we all know the true empowerment can only come from participation,” she said,

Sonia Gandhi: YC should work as a pressure group for implementing Central schemes

http://pressbrief.in/
Maintaining that the Congress has always been in the forefront in the fight for freedom and safeguarding the rights of the common people, she said, “In the last seven years, the Congress-led UPA government under the leadership of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singhji has initiated a number of measures that have brought great relief to the aam aadmi while ensuring them their rights. Youth Congress leaders should make sure that schemes of government are widely known and it should work as a “pressure group” to ensure their proper implementation”.

Rahul Gandhi: Mayawati government encouraged corruption


Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has blamed Mayawati government for encouraging corruption in Uttar Pradesh rather than tackling it.  In the last two decades all non-congress parties which have been ruling the state encouraged corruption in one form or the other, he said.  But Mayawati’s BSP government has turned out to be worst.  Mayawati has turned the government into a trading company where items and services are being sold for a negotiated price added Rahul Gandhi. As a result there is rampant corruption. While corrupt ministers, legislators and middlemen are making money, poor people are being compelled to pay bribe for getting anything done said the Congress General Secretary. Rahul Gandhi went on saying “Whenever farmers protest against forcible grabbing of their lands, Mayawati government orders police to shot poor farmers as it happened in Bhatta-Parsual. There is no body to listen to the grievances of the people least of it Mayawati who has kept her eyes closed on corruption for the last five years.” Rahul Gandhi promised to change these affairs in the state if Congress (I) is voted to power in the coming Assembly elections.

In all elections some one wins and some one lose. But after elections you are all part of the same team working towards a single common goal, the betterment of the organisation of the Congress. There can be difference of opinions on various issues but these differences can be ironed out through discussions within the organization”.

You are public servants so fight against all evils of the society like female foeticide and dowry abuses and you should fight discrimination of all size”. She reminded “Congress has a long history of service and sacrifice. Many of leaders have given up their lives for the Nation”. “Politics is not about exhorting power but to work for a better world. As a young Indian you now get an opportunity to be a part of the Nation building. You have the strength to make a place for yourself in your life and for the nation building”.

Uttar Pradesh industry suffered under Mayawati regime: Congress (I)


Congress (I) has lashed out at Mayawati for all round failure of industrial growth in Uttar Pradesh.  Mayawati’s high handed policies have demoralized the industrialists big or small alike rather than encouraging them to register high growth rate. Forcible extortion of money and hafta wasuli has compelled the marginal industrialists to closed down their establishments. Those who are able to pull out are shifting their industries to other states.  This has led to a chain reaction.  While production has come down, unemployment has risen directly affecting the people of Uttar Pradesh, said Congress (I). Even if it has brought down state revenue collection Mayawati is not worried because she is helping herself from NOIDA where private builders are offering her handsome income in return for allotment of prime land.  But alas Kanpur which was once known as Manchester of the East has become junk yard of closed industries, said Congress (I).

Rahul Gandhi in Maharajganj (UP)

http://pressbrief.in/
On the fourth day of his tour to Uttar Pradesh Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at Mayawati Government for the misuse of the fertilizers and urea sent by the Centre. “We sent fertilizers to Uttar Pradesh for the farmers but they are being black-marketed in Nepal. As a result the farmers in the state do not get the required fertilizers and urea sent by the Union Government,” he said.
He was addressing a well attended rally at Maharajganj near the UP-Nepal border on the last day of his UP tour as part of the Congress campaign for the upcoming assembly polls. Referring the farmers’ issues Congress General Secretary claimed that the Congress Governments realizes not just the strength of the farmers but also the difficulties faced by them. “Congress Governments in states like Delhi, Haryana or Andhra Pradesh have been making policies aiming for the welfare of the farmers. They acquire the lands of farmers by paying adequate compensation. But in Uttar Pradesh, BSP Government grabbed the poor farmers’ land in the Ganga and Yamuna Expressways forcibly. Did not pay proper compensation and sold it to the builders. When the farmers agitated, they were labeled as Naxals,” he argued.
“In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul farmers were assaulted by the BSP Government. Police fired at the agitating farmers when they were merely resisting the wrong and forceful land acquisition. When the farmers asked for the adequate compensation for their own land the government authorities called them Naxals. Mayawati Government gave no justice but only bullets to the farmers,” said Rahul Gandhi.

Bapu challenged, questioned and refined every idea he ever had

Congress General Secretary while addressing the elected representatives of Youth Congress said, “ Bapu challenged, questioned and refined every idea he ever had. He developed leadership in people around him by encouraging them.
A leader in the Indian tradition is not someone who leads people , she is someone who knows how to lead herself.
Gandhiji believed that all human beings have right to political expression. He never sought to control or own the Congress party. Gandhiji not only changed the organization, he changed the people within it.
Today we don't have a Gandhiji. That's why we are using the system of elections and democratization which will enable the Youth Congress to open itself for the youth of this country."
Senior Leaders of the Congress Party, Elected Office Bearers of the Indian Youth Congress, Distinguished Guests and Friends:
Gandhiji is no longer a man. He has become an idea. He is an expression of all that is good in humanity. He is one in a long line of people who truly represent the soul of India.
Gandhiji did not seek to lead people. He only ever led himself. His method was to create a mutiny within himself and relentlessly challenge everything that he stood for. He

challenged, questioned and refined every idea he ever had. He developed leadership in people around him by encouraging them to do the same.
A leader in the Indian tradition is not someone who leads people. She is someone who knows how to lead herself.
Gandhiji believed all human beings have the right to political expression. His conflict with the British occurred because he felt they did not allow Indians the right to political expression. He understood that the Congress was a powerful institution that could give India

a political voice. He cracked its hinges open and used it to provide a political identity to millions of Indians. He never sought to control or own the Congress Party. He strove instead to give it to its true owners, the people of India. Gandhiji did not only change the organization. He changed the people within it.
Gandhiji broke the doors of our organisation open with the force of his personality. Today we don't have a Gandhiji. That is why we are using a system of elections and democratization that will enable the Youth Congress to open itself to the youth of our nation. This system of periodic elections will

ensure that the youth of India will have the opportunity to elect their own leaders every two years.
The elections have empowered a new generation of Youth Congress leaders. As you begin this journey I would like to offer you some ideas that might help you as you progress in the world of politics.
We come into this world with nothing and we leave with nothing. The only thing you will ever have as a political leader is the trust of your people. Gandhiji maintained this trust till

the day he died. In fact he maintains it today as I speak. Try not to lose this trust.
Today, many political leaders lead by telling people what they want to hear. People who tell others what they want to hear are not called leaders. They are called followers. Learn to lead.
Test your ideas. Challenge your thoughts. Create mutinies within yourselves and others around you. Develop a relationship with your people. Learn to listen to people. Listen to and respect your opponents because they guide you. But most importantly, learn to

recognise and fight for the truth. Finally, understand that leadership in our tradition is not about taking but about giving. It is not about leading people but about leading yourselves.
I wish you all the best for a great journey.
I would like to end by inviting the youth of
India to take the reins of the Youth Congress and guide the destiny of our Nation.

The shining metro in Delhi was made by the labours from UP. The roads and buildings in Mumbai were built by them. Who are reaping the benefits of your labour, the respective states. But no jobs are available here in U.P. How can they get jobs without having proper roads, sufficient electricity and water? If your state and you are not developing, you will have to go to other places like Maharashtra, Punjab and Delhi and you have been doing so. We need better development and infrastructure. We need roads, electricity and sufficient water.

No roads, no electricity or water” he complained. Lamenting over the poor infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh Rahul Gandhi said that the roads in Uttar Pradesh last only 3 months. “The roads are languishing in dilapidated state and are littered with gutters and potholes. Because the funds meant for the roads and other amenities are being diverted to the pockets of ministers and contractors”.

Commenting on the misuse of Central funds Rahul Gandhi said, “The money sent through the MGNREGA does not reach the poor. Same is the case with the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY). The scheme meant for the benefit of the poor women is also being misused in Uttar Pradesh. Every poor woman is entitled to get Rs 1,400 under this scheme to meet the expenses for the delivery. But in Uttar Pradesh the money meant for the poor women do not reach them. Instead they are forced to bribe the hospital authorities to avail the benefit. This clearly indicates that the money that should have actually reached the poor is not reaching them.”

Under Mayawati govt. central funds not reaching the poor: Rahul Gandhi


Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has blamed Mayawati government for stealing poor people’s money.  He has charged that Congress (I)-led UPA government at the Centre has been sending funds to the tune of thousands of crores for development of Uttar Pradesh.  But those funds under Mayawati government are not reaching the poor people for whom they are meant for. He added that Mayawati did not bother about what was happening in her state or to the people. Central government has been sending huge funds for employment generation in the state through Mahatama Gandhi NREGA Scheme. This scheme provides guaranteed employment for poor at the cost of central government. Why the benefits of this scheme have not reached the poor. What happened to NRHM funds for improving rural health services? Where has that money vanished?  If every thing is normal why has Allahabad High Court ordered CBI probe in the matter, asked Rahul Gandhi.

Referring the farmers’ issues Congress General Secretary claimed that the Congress Governments realizes not just the strength of the farmers but also the difficulties faced by them. “Congress Governments have been making policies aiming for the welfare of the farmers. They acquire the lands of farmers by paying adequate compensation. When rich people sell their lands, they get proper price for the land. But in U.P if poor farmers sell their land to the Government and ask for adequate compensation, Government assaults them. BSP Government grabbed the poor farmers’ land in the Gorakhpur-Noida region forcibly. Did not pay proper compensation and sold it to the builders. When the farmers agitated, they were labeled as Naxals. Police fired at the agitating farmers when they were merely resisting the wrong and forceful land acquisition”.

He went on to say “I also travel by Helicopter, but I go to people too. When you go to people, mingle with them, talk to them, share meals with the, stay with them, drink water from their well, get sick then only you will be able to realize their problems. Leaders should come out of Helicopters and should go to the masses.”
Expressing his concern over the pathetic conditions of the hospitals in U.P “I went to a hospital in UP where some painting and renovation works were going on. I went inside. There were no doctors, patients or nurses. Dogs were scampering inside. I asked them what is going on. They said that Mayawati is on a tour to this area and she will be visiting the hospital and therefore the renovation. As she was expected to take the road route so the roads were being repaired and the hospital building was being painted,” he said.

Rahul Gandhi at Khushi Nagar, U.P on Congress-led UPA’s MGNREGA

http://pressbrief.in/
Appreciating the efforts of the Congress-led UPA Government at the centre Rahul Gandhi said “Our Government came to you, listened to you to realize your problems. You told us that you are not able to fetch a job in your villages, but the rich people do get it. We therefore designed the biggest employment generation scheme MGNREGA for the benefit of the poor. Through the MGNREGA policy every poor person is assured of a minimum of 100 days jobs in a year with a daily wage of Rs 120, thus Rs 12,000 per year is guaranteed. All the states welcomed this policy and implemented it at their places. You go to Andhra Pradesh or any other places, you can experience that. In all these states the funds meant for the scheme reach to the people. You can find the details from the internet. Ask anybody in Andhra Pradesh or Kerala about the most beneficial scheme of the Central Government. Without any doubt most will say it is MGNREGA. All other states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Rajasthan, Haryana or Delhi all are benefitted by this scheme”. Taking a dig at Mayawati he continued “But your Chief Minister says that MGNREGA is not beneficial. Mayawati has said that publically also during a rally in 2007 at Lucknow. She will say that the scheme is of no use for you because she doesn’t come to you and realize your pain. If she goes to the poor they will tell her about the benefit of the scheme. But she stays in Lucknow and travels by Helicopter.”

But the people of India gave them a befitting reply by voting Congress-led UPA to power”. He underlined that the Congress is committed to work for the poor, dalits, adivasis and underprivileged.

"We want to change UP," he asserted. Expressing his anguish over the bad conditions in UP Rahul Gandhi said, "I feel angry for the fact that when the entire country moves forward, UP goes backward. When I go to Maharashtra, people belong to UP come to me and ask what will happen to us? The youth tell me that there is no future in Uttar Pradesh. No jobs are available here. How can they get jobs without having proper roads, sufficient electricity and water? If any industry wants to be set up they need roads, electricity and water. Our Government is not bothered about these."
