Rahul Gandhi in Amethi: Criticism is very easy but working for the people is difficult

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi addressed an election rally in his Lok Sabha constituency Amethi. "Criticism is very easy. Leaders come and make long speeches attacking us and vanish.

Mayawati’s senior minister under scanner: Congress (I)

The Lokayukta’s indictment on one more minister in the Mayawati cabinet is showing how corrupt is her ministry, felt Congress. Already a dozen of her ministers are under UP Lokayukta scanner.

This time it is Naseemuddin Siddiqui, one of the most powerful ministers in the Mayawati led BSP government. Congress said that already a number of ministers and legislators in Mayawati government have been indicted by Lokayukta for corruption charges, misuse of official position and grabbing of lands. Chief Minister Mayawati has already dropped over a dozen indicted ministers and legislators. But new cases keep coming confirming that Mayawati government is neck deep in corruption, argued the Congress. In the present case it is alleged that at the time of filing nomination for election as MLC earlier this year, the minister’s wife had deliberately omitted to mention several properties in the affidavit filed along with the nomination. This points to possession of disproportionate assets by the Minister’s family, said Congress (I).

Sonia Gandhi addresses YC convention

http://pressbrief.in/
Congress President Sonia Gandhi addressed the Youth Congress convention at Rohini in New Delhi on 29th Nov 2011. Addressing the elected members she said, “ I am happy to be in this historical Youth Congress convention. I expect that you all must have b been benefited with the discussions of the last two days. You must have got a lot of new information and you will try to implement them in your respective areas. I congratulate the Youth Congress for successfully conducting their elections. Would also like to congratulate the Youth Congress Election officers for conducting the election in a fair manner.
You have proved wrong all the apprehensions and have shown that the energy of our youth will definitely take forward the Congress Party.
Our party is the oldest party of this country. In pre independence era the Congress party encouraged the new generation in every part of the country to come forward and provided opportunity to them.
Rajivji believed that our youth will take the country in the forefront of the first row of nations. His decision to provide voting rights at the age of 18 years gave lakhs of youngsters to participate in the democratic process.
Today, Indian youth have registered their presence in the country and abroad in every field. Talented youth should be brought in politics and that's the need of the hour. Your election, your training and your involvement will help in nation building. The process of training which has started is commendable. The very first time you have brought in accountability of the assignment as one's identity. This will help to strengthen the party from the grass root till the top. You all are the foundation of the party and country's hope.
The process of change which has started has given you the elected representatives a very big responsibility. You have to ascertain that the faith which has been shown in you shouldn't go waste. You are responsible towards them who have elected you. And that's why you have to be regularly in touch with them. You have to involve them in your programmes. You have to assign them work and use your imagination in a way that today's voter becomes a sincere worker in the future.

People of Uttar Pradesh now turning to Congress (I)

Congress (I) has said people of Uttar Pradesh have suffered too much under BJP, SP and BSP governments.  These caste-based and class-based political parties played with the sentiments of the people to grab power in the state. These political parties neither developed the state on modern lines nor served the people.  These opportunist political parties only filled their coffers, did their tenure in office and left the people in huff.  These political parties stooped so much low that ideologically opposed parties like BSP and BJP got into unholy alliance for each to run the Uttar Pradesh government on six monthly bases. Each successive government indulged in as much corruption as it could.  The present Mayawati’s BSP government has turned the government into a trading company where goods and services are sold and purchased for a price. Corruption, crime, extortions, abductions and rapes are order of the day. People angry with Mayawati for failure on all fronts are now turning to Congress (I) to reverse this sordid trend and to put Uttar Pradesh back on the fast tract of development.

Mayawati’s govt. got maximum funds from Congress (I)-led UPA govt.

Congress (I) has lashed out at Mayawati for getting maximum funds from Congress (I)-led UPA government at the Center for development works but not undertaking development works in the state.  “She is always hungry of funds despite receiving maximum funds from the Centre. It is a state where maximum funds have been misused”, said Congress (I) spokesman.  Mayawati has misused funds in constructing parks and erecting statutes including her own, which is unheard of in the country. Funds were given to Maya government under NRHM scheme for improving rural health services. But most of those funds be siphoned off by corrupt officials and the balance remained unutilised. Again funds for Mahatama Gandhi NREGA Scheme were made available by centre for providing employment to rural poor but instead funds were misapplied in purchasing of laptop computers and in payment of transportation bills of concerned officers. For Mayawati paucity of funds is just an excuse for not undertaking development in the state, said Congress (I).

For Mayawati statues more important than good deeds: Congress (I)

Congress (I) has said Mayawati seems to have realized that days of her BSP government are short and even getting murkier as scores of corruption and crime cases against her ministers and legislators are coming out in the public.  So Mayawati is busy in building parks and statues in her and her party’s name to perpetuate her memory after her, said Congress (I).  She has been doing it at the cost of public money. Recently she built one park for Rs 694 crores in a poor state of Uttar Pradesh.  It is a colossal waste of public money.  Importantly it brings out a sign of psychological unrest in Mayawati’s mind for she is apprehensive that people might not remember her after she is gone.  Otherwise there is no reason why building of parks and her own statues should take priority over everything else, said Congress (I).  People are long remembered not by their statues but by public service which they perform with devotion and dedication, pointed out Congress (I).

Crime and corruption in UP – Mayawati reaping what she sowed, says Congress (I)

Congess (I) has said there are daily cases of crime, extortions, murders and rapes in the state.  It is ironical that Behanji is ruling the state but dalit behans and betis are not safe in the state.  Police personnel themselves are committing such crimes and even rapes.  Administration is harassing and committing extortions upon innocent people.   Behenji is warning her bhaiyyas to improve their public conduct; but   Behenji's bhaiyyas are not prepared to mend their conduct, said Congress (I). Political analysts say though Mayawati had won 2007 assembly elections on the lawlessness issue during the Mulayam regime, she had fielded 131 candidates with criminal cases, of whom 63 won.  In the Lok Sabha elections, 2009, BSP gave tickets to at least 14 mafia dons. But the point is as Mayawati inducted so many leaders of criminal background in the party, they are bound to show their true colours at one or the other time. Mayawati is now reaping what she had sown earlier, said Congress (I).

Mayawati's wealth up by Rs 35 crore in 2010: Congress (I)

Congress (I) has said it is strange that while Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati likes to call herself as garib ki beti, she very much like to grab wealth as much as possible even it is by corrupt means.  BSP supremo Mayawati has assets worth over Rs 88 crore. She has commercial and residential properties worth Rs 75.47 crore, according to an affidavit furnished by her. She has 3,987.78 sq.mts property worth Rs 54 crore in New Delhi, the affidavit said. The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has gold and diamond jewellery worth Rs 88 lakh. According to the affidavit, Mayawati has deposits in banks and other financial institutions amounting to Rs 11.39 crore.  In the affidavit filed by Mayawati in 2007 while contesting a Vidhan Parishad by poll, she had said she had assets worth Rs 52 crore. Thus her wealth is up by Rs 35 crore in a short spell. Thus in the circumstances Mayawati has no claim to call her garib ke beti, said one local Congress (I) leader in Lucknow
