Criticising the performance of non-Congress governments in UP during the past 22 years he said, “in UP non-Congress parties have been talking about caste and religion at the cost of welfare of welfare of poor. They cheated state in the name of god. They made god a commodity and sold him in the market. They are least bothered about future of the state and its people.”

Congress General Secretary reminded that during the campaign for Lok Sabha elections in 2004 Congress had made only single promise – a government that would work for the common man. “Political parties brought out ‘India Shining’ slogan. They scripted it while sitting inside their big bungalows without noting that the shine was visible at those leaders’ houses or from their helicopters. But in villages the reality was quite different. So while other parties made a number of hollow promises we promised a government that works for the aam aadmi, poor, dalits and adivasis. So the people gave them a befitting reply by electing an aam aadmi government of the Congress. Since 2004 we have a government at the Centre,” he said taking a swipe at BJP and NDA.

Reiterating the significance of MGNREGA Rahul Gandhi said that we found that no jobs are available in the villages. People are forced to migrate to big cities. “Rich are getting jobs but the poor in the villages got no jobs. So we introduced MGNREGA to guarantee jobs for all. Through MGNREGA, the biggest employment generation scheme poor are assured of a minimum of 100 days jobs in a year and a daily wage of Rs 120. When calculated it adds up to Rs 12,000 per year. People in Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan or Kerala will vouch for the benefits of the scheme,” said Rahul Gandhi.

Charging Mayawati for her calling MGNREGA useless Rahul Gandhi remarked, “While all other states are acknowledging that MGNREGA is the most useful policy UP CM says MGNREGA is of no use. She is right in a way. The poor in the state are not getting its benefits. As Mayawati, her party leaders and ministers have usurped the benefits and pocketed the funds. Mayawati’s elephant in Lucknow has consumed all the funds sent by the Centre under various schemes. Normally elephants eat leaves and grass but the magic elephant of Mayawati in Lucknow eats currency notes.”

Rahul Gandhi promised that a Congress Government in the state assembly will guide the state to the top position again.
Taking a jab at the rampant corruption during Mayawati’s regime he said, “while talking to a media person he asked why the people in UP keep their hands inside their pockets while walking? He told that the people do so because otherwise the elephant will eat the money from the pockets as well.”
Rahul Gandhi asserted that the money does not belong to the Delhi Government, nor does it belong to the Uttar Pradesh Government. This money is earned from the development that you have brought to this nation. When people from Uttar Pradesh go to Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi and Punjab and work for development at those respective places, the Central Government gets the money. So this money is not of BSP or SP. But in UP the money is being gobbled up by the Mayawati’s elephant. This money is meant for development, for schools, hospitals and roads but is being looted. The loss is yours. Your future is being snatched away from you,” he reminded.

Reiterating Congress’ commitment towards the cause of farmers’ Rahul Gandhi said, “UPA is committed towards the welfare of the farmers. The intention behind the Central government to waive off loan worth Rs 60,000 crore was to serve the common man. We opened the doors of the banks for the farmers. When we decided to waive-off farmers’ loan and brought in MGNREGA and other welfare schemes, the opposition parties asked us from where will the Government arrange money for this? If we do anything for the rich and elite they keep silent but if we draft policies for the aam aadmi they raise a number of questions.”
