Funds meant for adivasis does not reach to them: Rahul Gandhi
Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while addressing an election rally at Jamtara(Jharkhand) said that poor people are the strength of this country, but our opposition feels ashamed of even discussing them. He said, “This election is an election between two ideologies. One ideology talks of aam aadmi represented by Congress and other is that of rich and selected people pushed by our opposition.” He further said, “In the general election of 2004, Congress had contested the election with the promise of working for the poor, adivasis and Dalits and we fulfilled those promises. But our opposition fought the election with a slogan of India Shining which they prepared while watching a television advertisement. They did not go to the poor and did not talk to you about your problems; and you showed them the door. They are still doing the same; they don’t want to talk about the poor, adivasis and Dalits.”
He cited his visit to a village with a British Minister to show him the strength of the poor villagers. He said, “I took a British Minister to a village and spent night there. That minister had asked me to show the real strength of India. I suggested him to come out of big cities and go to the villages. The British minister understood the strength of India but our opposition has not still understood that; they ridiculed my visit saying that I am making a mockery of villagers.” He said that whatever development is visible in this country is due to the hard labour of the poor people.
