During his five-day tour to UP Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi took on the Mayawati- led BSP Government in the state. Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Nanpara, Rahul Gandhi argued that the UP Government has been looting the Central welfare funds meant for the poor.
Taking a dig at Mayawati he said, “I doubt that Mayawati knows the real problems of the people? She always travels by helicopter above people’s head. Unless she goes to the people, talks to them and listens to them she would not able to realize the reality."
He reiterated his commitment to the welfare of aam-aadmi. “Till a leader goes to the poor, stays with them, eat at their home and drink water from their houses and gets sick he cannot understand poverty. I also fell sick many times but I will continue to do so," he asserted.
Rahul Gandhi said that he has learnt from Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav. Earlier both of them visited the people to understand their issues. “There was a time when both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav used to get angry when they found out the problems faced by the common man. During those days they used to roam around from place to place and go to the people. I have also learnt from them. But today they do not least affected as they stopped going to the people,” he said.
“I have been in politics for the past seven years. Some people say that I am quite novice. Yes, I am a child and am still learning. But one thing that I know certainly is that the people of this country have the strength to give befitting reply to wrong governance. Some leaders do lengthy talks sitting inside the TV studios. They ask why Rahul Gandhi is going to the villages and meeting people. I know that the real strength is in the hands of the poor people, dalit and adivasis,” said Rahul Gandhi and added.
