Rahul Gandhi in Raebareli: I understand the strength of the people of U.P

While speaking at an election rally in Raebareli, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that he realizes the strength of the people. He urged the people to believe in their strength and fight for a change in Uttar Pradesh.

Striking an emotional chord with the people especially the women Rahul Gandhi said “U.P is the largest state and you have the biggest strength. You know that I keep coming to the villages and interact with the people especially the women. I understand your power. You can change the entire world. I feel angry that your hands are tied. In Amethi and Raebareli, we, with your support and cooperation, brought in various developments. The people got its benefit too. But what is happening in the other parts of the state? What is the condition of lakhs of women and children there?”

“Political parties come to you and seek votes in the name of caste or religion. They formed Governments which represented only 10% of the people, and the rest 90% were ignored” concerned Rahul Gandhi.

Taking a jab at Samajwadi Party’s promise to give free electricity, Rahul Gandhi commented “This is election time and the parties come to you with tall promises. They promise free electricity and water. What was the situation in 2004? I still remember that the people of Amethi did not have regular electricity but received hefty electricity bills, free. They had showed me the bills. For the past 22 years no power houses were erected in the state. How can they give free electricity then? Will it fall from the sky? Will the wires come from the sky?”
