Rahul Gandhi: UP needs a Congress Government to ensure welfare for all sections


Rahul Gandhi repeated that the non-Congress rule in the past two decades destroyed the state of Uttar Pradesh and the state is now placed as one of the most backward states in the country. All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a public rally at Rath in Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh held the non-Congress parties responsible for the bad state of affairs in the state. Rahul Gandhi added that UP wants a Congress government at present that is committed to work for all caste, religion, aam aadmi, poor, minorities, dalits and adivasis.
“The first thing Congress-led UPA did was to implement MGNREGA, the biggest employment guarantee scheme. It guarantees jobs to every poor. Congress made this policy after going to the people and asking about their issues. The poor people had told us that there were no jobs available in the villages. By this biggest scheme every poor is assured with jobs. 100 days of work is ensured at a daily wages of Rs. 120/- thus amounting to Rs. 12000/- a year,” said Rahul Gandhi on UPA’s Mahatma Gandhi NREGA policy. “But Mayawati says that there is no benefit for the people of U.P by the MNREGA. You may ask people of the Congress ruled states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi, Mizoram or Assam and everyone will tell you about the benefits of the policy.”
“When Congress made this policy, the opposition asked from where we can have money for the scheme,” informed Rahul Gandhi. “This is the money of your sweat and blood. This money is the result of hard work of farmers and workers from UP in Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. If the country is developing it is because of your efforts, your blood and sweat,” said Rahul Gandhi. “Congress ensures only one thing. It returns the money received from the people,” argued Rahul Gandhi.
