“The people in UP have been witnessing the rule of criminals and a politics of hatred. There are some parties which try to spread the ill-will among different sections,” Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi had said while addressing a big public rally in Moradabad as part of her recent campaign for Congress in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Moradabad is also known as the "Brass City".
Referring the policies by the Congress led UPA at the centre, Sonia Gandhi said, “It was Congress which implemented policies for the minorities. Congress implemented the recommendations of the Sachar Committee. For the first time in the history, a separate ministry for the minorities was formed. We also gave loan worth five lakh crores of rupees under the Prime Minister’s fifteen point programme for minorities”.

The Congress President went on further “Under Sarva Shiksha Abiyan several new schools and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas were opened at various minority dominated areas. We also increased the budget for the Maulana Azad Foundation to provide financial assistance for the modernization of the madrasas. To help our sisters in the minorities we designed an easy-loan scheme for those who want to start their own business. We also granted 4.5 percentage reservation for the backward Muslims. I can name a number of such policies which clearly prove our commitment”.
Sonia Gandhi also had explained various Central policies for the welfare of the poor as well as the schemes for the women. The Congress leader said that only Congress can transform Uttar Pradesh. “For the past 22 years the misrule by the non-Congress parties ruined the state of Uttar Pradesh. Development reached a stand still. We should now change this” added Sonia Gandhi.
