Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who is on his second phase of U.P campaign lashed out at SP, BSP and BJP Governments. He said that all these parties took the state backward.
Rahul Gandhi said that the UPA Government realizes the strength of the farmers as well as their difficulties. “UPA is committed towards the welfare of the farmers. The intention behind the Central government Rs 60,000 crore loan waive-off policy was to serve the common man. We opened the doors of the banks for the farmers.”
Citing the wrong and forceful land acquisition policies the Congress general secretary criticised the reprehensible stand of the Mayawati Government towards the farmers. He said, “when rich sell their land they get the market price. But if a poor farmer sells his land and asks for adequate compensation he is punished and labeled as Naxals. In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul a lot of farmers were assaulted by the BSP Government. Police fired at the agitating farmers when they were fighting against the land acquisition by the UP Government. No one from the SP, BJP or SP attended the farmers. But we went there, listened to them and understood their problems. The Congress led Government at the centre did not stop at that. It drafted a new Land Acquisition Bill. But some parties have been trying to block it behind the closed doors of the Parliament”.
“UPA Government is concerned about minorities” said Rahul Gandhi and said “When we found that minorities are not able to take part in the process of development in the country, we implemented the recommendations of the Sachar Commission.” “What did the UP Government do? Did you get the benefit?” He asked with a comment “the funds allotted were eaten up by the elephant of Mayawati”.
