Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi claimed that none of the con-Congress governments in Uttar Pradesh brought in any development policies in the state.

Please tell me any one such good scheme brought in by the state Governments in the past 22 years” asked Rahul Gandhi while addressing an election rally in Meerut.

“I feel angry that the successive governments in U.P, for the past few years, do not think about development. They only talk about a particular caste or religion. Your people are forced to go to Maharashtra, Mumbai, Haryana, Delhi and help those states to develop. But U.P slips backwards” said Rahul Gandhi.

 “Now time has come to change the bad state of affairs in Uttar Pradesh. You go to other places and bring in positive changes there. Now let us change U.P too. The moment you have a Government of aam aadmi, the moment your leaders start coming to you and the moment the funds sent by the Centre start reaching you, the state will start progressing. We assure you that a Congress Government will bring in development here. You gave 22 years to others. Now please give five years to Congress.” he urged.

“I want the entire country look at Uttar Pradesh and marvel at the developments in the state. I dream for a day when the people from other states come to Uttar Pradesh for better jobs, education and health facilities.” he said to the cheering crowd.

“This is not the question of future of BSP or SP, but it is your future. U.P needs a government that works for all caste, religion, aam aadmi, poor, minorities, dalits and adivasis and only Congress can provide it. The moment you have a Congress Government in Uttar Pradesh, you will start witnessing developments again. Support Congress and elect our candidates,” concluded Rahul Gandhi.
