What did Mulayam give for Muslims, asks Rahul Gandhi

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing a massive election rally in Pilibhit as part of his Congress campaign questioned Samajwadi President Mulayam Singh for his pro-Muslim stance.

Rahul Gandhi said, “Mulayam Singh Ji calls himself a leader of the Muslims. Did Mulayam Singh Ji do anything for them in the past 22 years? No one was benefitted. They were not included in the process of development under his regime. But now during elections he showers promises. He was Chief Minister thrice but did nothing for the Muslims. Ahead of the last general elections he embraced Kalyan Singh for narrow political gains.”

Rahul Gandhi added, “Congress implemented Sachar Commission’s recommendations. When we sent the money for scholarship to Uttar Pradesh, that vanished in Lucknow. The funds reach Kerala and Tamil Nadu but the same did not reach the people in UP.”

“When media persons had asked Mulayam Ji about his stand on reservation, he did not utter any word. But when Manmohan Singh Ji went ahead with reservation, he complained that it was inadequate. He was the Chief Minister in UP thrice. Why did not he do anything then? When Rasheed Masood Ji talked about reservation he was expelled from SP,” said the Congress leader, questioning the double speak of SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on the issue of Muslim reservation.
