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.
