Scams and corruption have denied people in Uttar Pradesh of the benefits of Central schemes and funds, said Congress President and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi while speaking at an election rally in Aligarh.
In her 20-minute-long speech at the Exhibition Ground in Aligarh, Sonia Gandhi said that the central government was giving huge amounts for development under various schemes, but due to looters and scamsters, people had not benefitted.
Sonia Gandhi said that fertilizers had been provided for farmers by the central ministry but it was not reaching the people. She said Aligarh was a historical city which mirrored our composite culture. The Congress was committed to promoting this ‘tahzeeb’.
"We believe in taking all sections of society along the path of development but the backwards need special support therefore we (Congress) have made new schemes for the poor and the underprivileged sections. Villages and rural areas are important for development of the country," said Sonia Gandhi.
The Congress President assured that the Aligarh lock industry workers that their interests would be taken care of and problems sorted out. Sonia Gandhi urged the people to support Congress and help it to form the next Government in Uttar Pradesh.
Sonia Gandhi attended the meeting along with Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Ajit Singh.
