Rahul Gandhi: Mulayam talks a lot about minorities, but does nothing

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who had headed the Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh said that the two decades’ non-Congress rule in the state has destroyed Uttar Pradesh. While addressing a public rally in Banda, the Congress General Secretary questioned the double speak of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s double stance over the issue of reservation.

“Mulayam Singh Yadav talks about minorities, but does nothing. It was the Congress which implemented the Sachhar Commission’s recommendations. We sent crores of rupees to U.P. Did it reach you?” Rahul Gandhi asked.

“When we decided on reservation for minorities, Mayawati Ji immediately said that she had written to the Prime Minister. What was the need of writing to the PM? She is the Chief Minister and what was she doing all these days?” asked the Congress leader. “When the media asked Mulayam Singh about the issue of reservation, he did not utter a word. When we, the Congress, granted reservation, he says that it is inadequate” Rahul Gandhi said and asked “If it is inadequate, why Mulayam Ji did not do anything when he was in power? Why there is no any such promise in their election manifesto?”

“When elections come, these non-Congress leaders come to you with a lot of promises but forget those after the polls. But we, the Congress, will give you only one promise; a government of aam aadmi. Congress once promised this in 2004 and delivered it. We will fulfill it in U.P too” promised Rahul Gandhi.
