Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Uttar Pradesh, 3 Feb. 2012 Part-1

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who is on a five-day campaign tour in the state of UIttar Pradesh addressed an election meeting at Musafirkhana. She will focus Amethi and Raebareli, the constituencies of Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Sonia Gandhi respectively.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said ““You belong to Musafirkhana. You have seen the politics of Congress and Rahul Ji is your Member of Parliament. My father and mother were the MPs before. You have seen one kind of politics, the politics of service; a politics with social service as its base”.
Priyankla Gandhi then continued “For the past 22 years you have been witnessing something different. The leaders approached you in the name of caste and religion and sought votes promising things targeting a particular caste or religion; damaged secular harmony. They also tried to betray you raising religious issues. What happened to your state? For the past 22 years while all other states have been surging ahead, Uttar Pradesh slipped backwards. No development took place. The Central policies and funds did not reach you”.
“Now you belong to Gauriganj constituency. Previously you were in Jagdishpur. Don’t go far, just analyse the performance of the MLA of Gauriganj. What did he do for the development here? I heard that he has been constructing a luxurious bungalow for himself. Someone stopped me on my way and complained that fertilizers are not available. I asked why it is so. He told me that MLA makes the fertilizers available for only a handful of people” added Priyanka Gandhi.
