Rahul Gandhi: Aam admi looking towards Congress (I)

Chief Minister Mayawati having compounded the miseries of the people of Uttar Pradesh by running the most corrupt and crime infested government during the last five years, it now seems that aam admi cutting across caste and community line has started looking towards Congress (I)  for providing stable and progressive government in the state. This is the impression one gets while passing through central and west UP. In Shahjahanpur and Badayun despite being Samajwadi Party’s strong hold, the aam admi is feeling fed up both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav. This region has a large number of Muslim population. Rahul Gandhi said ordinary Muslims in the villages and towns have expressed dislike for the ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and disappointment with the Samajwadi Party.  The community is annoyed with Mulayam for having joining hands with Kalyan Singh’s party last time.  The people are now feeling that Congress (I) is better option for the state, said Rahul Gandhi.

They scripted the slogan sitting inside big bungalows. They did not realize the reality. The shining may be visible at those leaders’ houses who had coined this slogan but not the villages. And the people gave them a befitting reply by electing an aam aadmi Government of the Congress”, he added taking a dig at BJP and NDA.

The reality is that the funds sent by the Centre under various schemes are being eaten up by Mayawati’s elephant in Lucknow. Normally elephants eat leaves and grass but the magic elephant of Mayawati in Lucknow eats currency".

In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul striking farmers were assaulted by the BSP Government. Mayawatiji did not go there. I went there, listened to them and understood their problems. The Congress led Government at the centre drafted a new Land Acquisition Bill. But some parties have been trying to block it behind the closed doors of the Parliament”. “She also did not found it proper to visit Bundelkhand too” said Rahul Gandhi referring his visit to Bundelkhand and the subsequent relief package sanctioned by the Central Government.

Mayawati govt. took corruption to new heights: Congress (I)

Congress (I) has said BSP government has developed new terminology in Government Tax system which is now popularly known as Maya Tax. Every transaction has a percentage of the maya share fixed in them. On every transaction every one has to pay Maya Commission. Name any program or welfare scheme like Garib Rozgaar Yojana, Bal Pushta Aahar, Vidhwa and Vridha Pension or land allotment schemes and Group Housing schemes, Maya tax and Maya commission is levied. Congress (I) said apart this if anything Mayawati has done perfectly well then it is Maha Ghotalas which she carried out stealthily behind the doors.  Mayawati’s perfection in such cases was so excellent that only some instances of it could reach the people.  Her ‘mayajal’ is so perfect that people now believe Mayawati is a leading player specializing in the field of ghotalas. Under Mayawati government bhrashtachar has become a shishtachar during the last 4 years, said Congress (I).

Addressing a Congress workers’ rally at Farrukhabad Uttar Pradesh on the fourth day of his second phase of the campaign for Congress, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the state can surge ahead only if the leaders think with long term vision. Rahul Gandhi promised that a Congress government will bring back the lost glory of Uttar Pradesh. Rahul Gandhi continued with his leader-aam aadmi theory and reiterated that leaders should go to the people to realize their difficulties. “Till a leader goes to the poor, stays with them, eats at their home and drinks water from their houses and get sick, he will not understand poverty,” emphasized Rahul Gandhi. He added that for those who travel by Helicopter feels that all is well. But they do not realize the reality. They sit in big bungalows in Lucknow and think that everything is fine. To prove his point he cited an example “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.”
