Sonia Gandhi urges the people to work together to regain the lost pride of UP

While speaking at an impressive public rally in Moradabad as part of her recent campaign for the last UP assembly polls, Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi had asked the people to come out of the “Maya-jaal” of divide and rule policy and support Congress for development. The Congress MP from Raebareli also urged the people to work together to bring back the lost glory of the state.

Addressing the people in the brass city Moradabad the Congress President blamed the non-Congress parties for spreading hatred, terror and anarchy in Uttar Pradesh.

“These are parties that follow the divide and rule policy and you should beware of such forces” warned the Congress President. “It is only Congress that does not treat the people on the basis of caste and religion. The BJP, BSP and SP filled their own coffers and it is because of them that UP has lagged behind. UP, at one time, was the glory of the nation and we must work towards regaining that pride,” said Sonia Gandhi.

Sonia Gandhi then explained various welfare policies brought in by the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre and said that it was the Congress that set up Sachchar Committee and later implemented its recommendations for the welfare of minorities.

The Congress President added that the Congress led Central government had sent over 1 lakh crore under various schemes to Uttar Pradesh but all the money went in corruption and scams. “We (Congress) have designed our maximum programmes for the deprived sections of society. For women, apart from reservation in panchayats, the Congress has introduced several health schemes but the benefit of all this obviously did not reach you,” informed Sonia Gandhi.
