Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
joined the Congress campaign in the poll
bound state of Himachal Pradesh on Thursday accused the BJP of creating
obstructions for the legislations benefiting the people at large. Rahul Gandhi also argued that only the
Congress is serious to fight corruption. He addressed public rallies in Solan,
Kangra and Keylong. The Congress leader said while the union government has
been sending money through central schemes, the state government has created a
situation where a very small portion reaches its intended beneficiaries.
Taking on the BJP for its "anti-tribal" policies, Rahul
Gandhi said that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was responsible for
getting tribal status for the residents of Lahaul and Spiti and the Congress
had made every effort to ensure the welfare of the tribal community in the
state and the country.
"It was only after this that the tribal sub-plan
started. But what is the BJP trying to do? They are trying to bring this down
further. They are reducing it from 9 per cent to 8.5 per cent," Rahul Gandhi
said attacking the BJP government. "We run a government that works for the
welfare of poor, a government that provides schemes like MNREGA while they run
a government for the rich," he said, adding, "We talk about joining,
while they talk about breaking".
In Kangra, Rahul Gandhi said BJP was opposed to the idea of
a government working for welfare of the 'aam admi' and that is why it did not
allow Parliament to function. "Disruption of the Parliament did not hurt
the BJP. It hurt the common people," he said. Rahul Gandhi urged the
voters to support Congress for the benefit of the people and development of the
state.
