Aggressively campaigning for Congress in the crucial state of Uttar Pradesh which goes to polls from 8 February 2012, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at Samajwadi Party President Mulayam Singh Yadav's commitment to offer 28% reservation for Muslims.
"Mulayam Singh Yadav says that reservation given to Muslims by the Congress is not adequate. He himself has been the chief minister of the state three times but did nothing on this front and when Rashid Masood raised this matter he was shown the door", Rahul said here.
"Mulayam Ji says that he will give 28 per cent quota...SC has said that this is not possible but he is saying that he would give it. He thinks that people understand nothing", he said.
"Mulayam Singh promises to provide power, water and quota and think that people would know nothing ... though he makes promises but when it is time to fight for the rights of the people he does nothing", Rahul Gandhi said. Rahul Gandhi also reminded the people, "Mualayam Singh has been Chief Minister thrice...the food grains sent through the PDS were looted ".
The Congress leader said that the biggest problem today is that leaders do not come to you. "They make promises during election times and forget you after elections", he said.
Once again taking a dig at Mulayam’s promise to provide free electricity Rahul Gandhi said that the reality is that in the past 22 years not a single power house has been set up in the state. The Congress leader said that the intentions should be clear and he had good intentions and he has come here to change the state for which he is making only one promise. "There is no one to hear you. I am here to listen to you. Till you be included in development I will not leave you", he promised.
