Coming down hard on parties like BSP, SP and BJP for corruption and mis-governance in the state, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said his party will solve the issues of the people.  Congress (I) is alive to the harassment the people have been facing for the last two decades at the hands of these parties. Due to corruption people are not getting employment. The youth is perforce leaving their homes in search for jobs in other states.  In Maharashtra Shiv Sena workers are ill treating the people from UP.  How long this will continue?
