Launching a blistering attack against Mayawati for not doing anything for development of women in the state, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that while she is herself a woman she had completely ignored empowerment of women. “There cannot be real development without simultaneous development in the condition of women, said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting as part of his Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh. “Women in their daily lives have to face many difficulties. Explaining that Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna has been working for all round development of rural women, Rahul Gandhi said that under this program women could form Self Help Group in their own villages. Rahul Gandhi pointed out that these women were given training in various crafts like basket making, pottery etc. Congress (I) in this way has encouraged women to learn and earn in their spare time, claimed Rahul Gandhi. This has given them a sense of empowerment and new economic standing in the society, said the Congress leader. Reiterating that Congress (I) is committed to social and economic welfare of the people, Rahul Gandhi requested the people to support Congress (I) which would work for empowerment and well-being of the people especially the women.
