During his five-day tour to Uttar Pradesh Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BSP and SP maintaining that both the parties forgot the people and work selectively. Addressing a huge Congress workers’ gathering at Balrampur AICC General Secretary said that the present BSP Government has lost touch with the people and has been plundering the Central funds meant for the poor.
Taking a dig at the Samajwadi Party Rahul Gandhi quipped, “SP talked about the dalits and minorities but they joined hands with Kalyan Singh. During their regime police stations were run by the criminals. They did not allow people to lodge FIR even. Till a leader go to people and listen to them he won’t be able to realize their troubles.”
Rahul Gandhi criticized the forceful land acquisition by the Mayawati Government in the Ganga and Yamuna expressways accusing that she grabbed lands from the poor farmers and sold it to the builders. “In Tappal and Bhatta-Parsaul a lot of farmers were assaulted by the BSP Government. Police fired at the agitating farmers when they were fighting against the wrong and forceful land acquisition by the UP Government. No one from either BSP or SP took pain to go there. But the Congress went there, listened to them and understood their problems. Not only that, the Congress led Government at the centre drafted a new Land Acquisition Bill. But some parties have been opposing it. Who is the loser? It is the common man, poor farmers and villagers are the losers. But we will not let it happen.”
