“The people of Uttar Pradesh (UP) do not want promises, they want their UP back”, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said while addressing an election rally at Pratapgarh on Monday.
“Mulayam Singh Ji now promises that he would convert Bundelkhand to Israel. But the people of Bundelkhand do not want Israel, they want their Bundelkhand back. The people of U.P want their U.P back, not hollow promises. He promises free electricity. But when he was in power, I remember, there was no proper electricity. People used to get free hefty electricity bills, not electricity,” said Rahul Gandhi, taking a dig at the poll promise of SP President Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Referring to the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi said, “During 2004 Parliament Elections, Congress had only promised a government of aam aadmi that works for poor, farmers, minorities, dalits Hindu, Sikh, Muslims, Christians and adivasis and we delivered it”.
“But BJP and NDA brought out a slogan in English – India Shining. They were in power for five years. But they did not go to people, farmers, labourers, talked to them or enquired about their problems, still believed blindly that India was shining,” said Rahul Gandhi.
“But you gave them a befitting reply. You trusted Congress and gave it a mandate,” he added.
