Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that Uttar Pradesh needs a change from the 22 years of non-Congress rule and asserted that only the youth of the state can do it. While addressing an election rally in Jhansi Rahul Gandhi said: "We have to change Uttar Pradesh. Who will change it? Only the youth can change it, nobody else. You gave 22 years to these people, while clapping for the government in Delhi. Elect a Congress Government here in U.P, and you will be clapping for the state of Uttar Pradesh. Indeed, Uttar Pradesh will develop. Schools will function and roads will be built."
He also attacked Uttar Pradesh minister Nasimuddin, whom he alleged had coveted some for the tractors that the Central Government had sent to be distributed among local farmers. "Nasimuddin is the minister of Mayawati. The tractors were given to his children. We had sent the tractors for the farmers, not for the minister. The children of a minister do not need a tractor," Rahul Gandhi opined.
The assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh is seen as an opportunity for the Congress party to re-establish its foothold in its erstwhile political base in the country's most populous state.
Polls in Uttar Pradesh are to be conducted in seven phases between February 8 and March 3. The counting of votes would take place on March 6.
