Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who is on a five-day tour to Uttar Pradesh took a dig at BJP by questioning the ‘India Shining’ slogan during the 2004 Parliament elections. Addressing a huge gathering at Dumariyaganj in Uttar Pradesh as a part of his campaign in the state for the upcoming assembly elections he said that the BJP failed to note the problems of the people and claimed that India was shining.
Referring to the wrongful land acquisition and the atrocities inflicted in many villages in UP Congress General Secretary took on the BSP Government. “Farmers are the biggest strength of the country. But what is happening with the farmers in UP. In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul a lot of farmers and women were assaulted at the behest of BSP Government. Police fired at the agitating farmers while they were merely resisting the wrong and forceful land acquisition by the UP Government. No BSP people or SP people went there. But the Congress went there, listened to them and understood their problems. Not only that, the Congress led Government at the centre drafted a new Land Acquisition Bill. But some parties have been opposing it. Who is the loser? It is the common man, poor farmers and villagers are the losers. Congress is committed to work for the poor. We will keep on fighting for your rights,” said Rahul Gandhi.
Emphasising the need for a good government Rahul Gandhi sad, “you should bring in a government that works for the entire society – all caste and religion, the poor, dalits, adivasis and the underprivileged. If such a government comes, the picture of Uttar Pradesh will also change.”
“All Congress Governments work for the poor. We send money under various schemes to UP too but that does not reach you. So bring in a Congress Government. Change UP” urged Rahul Gandhi concluding his speech.
