Congress gave the rights of the poor: Rahul Gandhi says in Banda

Congress General Secretary who is on a five-day tour to poll bound Uttar Pradesh while addressing a public rally in Banda said that the Congress had given to the people the right to education, right to information, right to employment and now right to food. “Mayawati

has said that this scheme is a natak. If we are giving you food, is that natak? It is not

the Congress which is doing natak-- it is the elephant in Lucknow that does the ‘natak’

by eating up the money and getting fat. Under this scheme, every poor family will get

35 kgs of food grain every month but in UP it may not reach you if the elephant

remains in Lucknow,” he said.

Mayawati Ji calls giving food to the poor a drama. Giving jobs to the people a drama, said Rahul Gandhi. But the real drama is that the money eating magic elephant of Mayawati in Lucknow, he repeated.

Rahul Gandhi blamed the 22 years of non-Congress rule for the backwardness of the state. “Your present leaders come to you only during elections. They make a number of promises and vanish after that. They never bothered to fulfill the promises. But Congress makes only one promise, that a Government of aam aadmi. We delivered it in 2004. We will fulfill it in Uttar Pradesh too” said Rahul Gandhi.

“Only the people and leaders, whose intentions are not clear, make such hollow promises. The intention of Congress is pure and so we make only a single promise and we will deliver it” assured Rahul Gandhi.
