AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while talking at a public rally as part of his Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh said that there has been rampant corruption under Maya raj in Uttar Pradesh. Rahul Gandhi explained various scams, corruption and misuse of funds by the BSP Government.
"The NRHM scam is a reflection of the level of corruption under the present regime," Rahul Gandhi said. The Congress General Secretary exuded confidence that development would be back in UP if the people opt for a pro-poor Congress Government in UP. “If Congress comes to the power issues like education and health would be addressed on a priority” said Rahul Gandhi. The Congress leader also rapped the NDA government for its India Shining slogan which, he said, was "nowhere close to reality".
Castigating Mulayam Singh Yadav for his opposition to 4.5% quota for Muslims in government jobs, Rahul Gandhi said: "The opposition by both Mulayam and Mayawati have exposes their factual stance on the welfare and upliftment of Muslims." Holding ruling party ministers, MLA's and party workers responsible for gobbling up funds worth Rs 8,000 crore sanctioned for Bundelkhand, Rahul Gandhi said "this speaks volumes about their insensitivity towards the plight of farmers and common man in the Bundelkhand region".
Rahul Gandhi then asked "How many ministers are there in Maya cabinet from Bundelkhand?" When the crowd replied five, Rahul Gandhi said: "Think, all of them are facing corruption charges." Rahul Gandhi also questioned the SP and BSP leaders for laughing at his night halts at villages, and said: "If they had cared to do the same during their tenures, they would have realized the real issues of the people."
Rahul Gandhi’s highly interactive speech struck an instant chord with the gathering that reciprocated their warmth and thunderous applause.
