Rahul Gandhi leading the people’s struggle in UP

Lashing out at governments of parties like BSP, SP and BJP for following anti-people policies, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress has always led the people’s movement against the unjust policies of these parties.

Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre has been sending number of welfare schemes to the state for the welfare of the people and development, said Rahul Gandhi and added that that National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is one of such schemes.  It is meant to improve rural health services in the state by establishing poly clinics for poor. But the benefits of the scheme did not reach the people, he alleged. Instead the money was siphoned off by ministers of Mayawati. Rahul Gandhi said that it was the Youth Congress workers who filed a RTI to unearth the irregularities in the usage of funds under NRHM. Ultimately, High Court recently ordered CBI inquiry into the financial irregularities in NRHM scheme committed by Mayawati government, said the Congress General Secretary.

While campaigning for upcoming Assembly election in UP in February 2012, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that Congress (I) is aware of the issues of the Muslim community.  There are socio-economic issues.  Education is another important issue. When Congress (I)-led UPA government came to power at Centre it appointed Sachhar Committee to recommend measures for socio-economic improvement of Muslim community

The recommendations given by Sachhar Committee have been implemented in Congress (I) ruled states. But Mayawati has not done so in UP.  Congress (I)-led government has recently announced reservations for them in government and educational institutions, said Rahul Gandhi.  Congress (I) has also recently announced waiver of Rs 50,000 loans taken by the weavers who mostly belongs to the minority community. It was Congress (I) initiative that last year a special package was announced by Central government for helping silk weavers who mostly belonged to minority community, said Rahul Gandhi.

Congress (I) the only alternative in UP for development: Rahul Gandhi

Referring to the bitter experience which the people of UP have undergone during BSP, SP and BJP regimes over the last twenty two years, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that the people are now realizing that Congress (I) is the only reliable alternative in Uttar Pradesh. The people feel they have been cheated by BSP and SP.  Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress (I) is determined to provide “only alternative” to the people and to restore governance in the state.  Rahul Gandhi highlighted good record of Congress (I) since independence; it was Congress (I) which was once giving lead to the state. Uttar Pradesh was then on the path of development.  But all that stopped when caste based politics of SP and BSP took over in the state said the Congress General Secretary. People are regretting having trusted SP and BSP over so long, he added. Rahul Gandhi said a government of the poor and common man by Congress will be responsive to the needs of the people and put the state on path of fast track development which people would start seeing within five years.
