Slamming non-Congress parties - BSP, SP and BJP- for their misrule in the past 22 years, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi had said that these non-Congress parties ignored problems of the drought-hit Bundelkhand. Starving conditions prevailed in the region but no leader from these parties had tried to help them, Rahul Gandhi had informed while addressing a huge Congress rally in Mainpuri during his recent campaign for the UP Assembly elections. “People of the region have been crying for help from the state government. But no one in the state had helped them”, added Rahul Gandhi. “Mulayam Singh Yadav was chief minister from 2002 to 2007 but did not bother to visit the area to know the problems of the people much less to help them. Mayawati also ignored the pain of Bundelkhand and never visited the region”, alleged Rahul Gandhi. “I went to the region and people told me about their pain. I led a delegation to the Prime Minister and the Congress led centre sanctioned a special package of Rs 8,000 crore for the development of the region,” informed Rahul Gandhi. “But the money was swindled by BSP ministers and the benefits did not reach the people,” concerned the Congress leader. Arguing that non-Congress parties were really not interested in the welfare of the people, Rahul Gandhi made a fervent appeal to the people to vote for Congress (I) to bring development in their state.
