Rahul Gandhi’s aam aadmi mantra: Go to the people to know their problems

Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Gaind Ghar Ground, Bahraich on the second day of his UP tour AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the Mayawati Government. He said that the BSP Government has been misusing all the welfare schemes brought in by the Central Government meant for the poor.

Repeating his leader-aam aadmi relationship Rahul Gandhi said, “till a leader goes to the poor, stays with them, eat at their home and drink water from their houses, he cannot understand poverty."
Narrating his personal experience he said, "few days back I went to a Hospital in Gorakhpur. But there were no facilities. No doctors, no nurses and no patients. May be they want to show the government that all is well with the people. But I doubt whether Mayawati knows the real problems of the people? Unless she goes to the people, talk to them and listen to them she would not able to realize the reality."
Recalling the earlier days of Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav Congress leader commented, “there was a time when both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav used to get angry when they experienced the problems faced by the common man. In those days they used to roam around from place to place and go to the people. But today they do not get angry as they stopped going to the people. And so, they do not feel angry when they see a hospital where there are no basic facilities. They fly in helicopters nowadays above the heads of the common people and they stopped bothering about the aam aadmi.”
Taking a dig at Samajwadi Party he said “They talk about dalits and underprivileged. But it is to be recalled that Mulayam Singh Yadav joined hands with Kalyan Singh during the last elections.”
“We want to change UP,” he asserted.
