Rahul Gandhi in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh Part-2

Regarding the relief package for the Weavers, Rahul Gandhi said “some of the delegates of the Bunkars came to me and said that if the scheme is implemented through the state run Society, the money will not reach them. So we changed the policy and made such a scheme that the money would directly reach the Bunkar’s bank account. We also introduced a credit card for them. Further Rs. 3000 cr worth interest is waived off.” Referring the inefficient state Government, Congress General Secretary said “the Central Government is forced to deposit the amount directly to the individual account because of the inability of the state Government. UPA Government is ready to do more work for the poor, but U.P Government will not help those schemes to reach you. Unless you do not change the state Government, you cannot change your future. If the Government of Uttar Pradesh is changed, the entire U.P will change, the entire picture of U.P will be different.”
“Today India has got enough funds. The problem is that it is not reaching the common man. Now we are introducing a UID card” said Rahul Gandhi elaborating the benefits of the UID card scheme. “Now people have different cards issued by different authorities. Through the UID card scheme, every citizen will have a single card like your ration card, NREGA job card etc. Every person will be having a unique card with a unique number which will include all the details of the person. So when the Centre sends any amount it will directly go to his bank account. “
“For the past 20 years, the funds meant for the development of the state do not reach you. The money is being pocketed by the ministers, bureaucrats and politicians. We want the money meant for you should reach you directly. Our Government will ensure the same. And a Congress Government will be a Government for the poor and will work for the common man’s cause and will not be working for any particular caste or religion” he added. Rahul Gandhi also assured “we will bring back the glory in Uttar Pradesh. We will bring the state back on track”.
“Today if U.P wants to bring any progress in the fields of IT, it is not able to do. Bangalore has become the IT hub now. If U.P wants to progress in the field of Industry, it is not able to do so because Tamil Nadu has become the prime centre for the industry. Uttar Pradesh is going backwards. If you and your state are not developing, you will have to go to other places like Maharashtra, Punjab and Delhi and you have been doing so. We need better development and infrastructure. We need roads, electricity and sufficient water. We will do it for you” assured Rahul Gandhi. “In the next ten years, we will bring U.P to the forefront of development. The country is looking towards Andhra Pradesh, Delhi and Maharashtra but is not looking towards Uttar Pradesh. We should change this. SP and BSP did a lot of talks but you know what they did in the past 20 years. They will continue their anti-poor policies if they get power again” warned Rahul Gandhi. “You go to Kerala, Assam or Delhi and experience the developments there. We will together change Uttar Pradesh. I am sure that the Congress will win the next elections. We will work together, fight together for a better Uttar Pradesh” said Rahul Gandhi concluding his speech.
