On the second day of the fifth phase of his campaign for Congress for the upcoming assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh All India congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a public rally at Rath in Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh, that 22 years misrule of the non-Congress Governments in U.P dragged the country backwards. Rahul Gandhi added that the state needs a government that works for all caste, religion, aam aadmi, poor, minorities, dalits and adivasis and only Congress can provide it.
“The first thing we did was to implement MNREGA, the biggest employment guarantee scheme, to guarantee jobs for all. We drafted this policy as we came to you, talked to you and you told us that there were no jobs available in the villages. By this biggest employment generation scheme poor are assured of jobs if they intend to work. Every poor is assured of 100 days of work at a daily wages of Rs. 120/- thus amounting to Rs. 12000/- a year,” said Rahul Gandhi on UPA’s Mahatma Gandhi NREGA policy. “But Mayawati says that there is no benefit for the people of U.P by the MNREGA. You may ask people of the Congress ruled states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi, Mizoram or Assam and everyone will vouch for the benefit of the policy.”
“When we made this policy, the BJP and NDA asked from where we can have money for the scheme,” informed Rahul Gandhi. “This is the money of your sweat and blood. This money is the result of hard work of farmers and labourers from UP in Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. If the country is developing it is because of your efforts, your blood and sweat,” said Rahul Gandhi amidst applauds. “We do only one thing. We return the money received from you” he claimed.
