Addressing Congress workers’ rally at Akbarpur, Kanpur Dehaat in Uttar Pradesh on the last day of his second phase campaign All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that there is only one elephant in the entire world that feeds on money and that is in Lucknow. He also asserted that UP will develop as well but for that the state needs a government of aam aadmi. Only Congress can deliver such a government. Rahul Gandhi promised that a Congress government will guide the state to the top position again.
“I am angry that the funds meant for the welfare of the poor are being looted in UP. Your people go to Mumbai, Delhi, Haryana or Punjab and play a crucial role to develop those places. You made the big buildings in Mumbai. You built the shining Metro in Delhi. However, even the basic infrastructure is missing in UP. The money meant for the welfare is being plundered here,” argued Rahul Gandhi.
“Here your leaders think only about today they don’t see the future. That is the reason behind the poor state of affairs in UP,” he added recalling the contributions of his late father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. “It was because of the long-term vision of Rajiv ji you have computers and mobile phones today. He took initiative for computers and telecom in the company of Sam Pitroda in 1985 and today we all are benefitted. So the policies with long-term vision are the main factor for development”.
“Who will change this?” asked Rahul Gandhi adding, “I have faith in you. The people of Uttar Pradesh have great strength. You can change not only Uttar Pradesh but the entire world. Today your state is slipping backward. But you can propel it to the top position again. I am here as your soldier, to fight with you to bring positive changes in Uttar Pradesh.”
“Uttar Pradesh is the biggest state in our country. I am confident that the youth and the poor of this state will bring changes in UP. We will ensure your involvement in Congress as well,” he promised. While concluding his address Rahul Gandhi asserted that the Congress is a party that works for everybody. He said, “I will not make big promises but only one promise and that I will fight till we bring positive changes in Uttar Pradesh with your support.”
