No pact with BSP; will fight battle for better future: Rahul
Anuraag Singh, Hindustan Times
Ahraura , May 18, 2010
In his maiden public rally in the naxal heart of UP, Congress national
general secretary Rahul Gandhi made it loud and clear that his party
will not have any truck with ruling BSP ever.
A day after the killer landmine blast in Dantewara (Chattisgarh),
Gandhi, however, remained mute on naxalism and against expectations
did not make any statements about how to win away misguided youths
from naxal extremism.
"Speculations have been rife of a pact between the Congress and the
BSP, after the recent voting in the parliament. But let me make it
crystal clear, we'll never have any pact with the BSP at any cost, but
will defeat the present govt in Lucknow," said Gandhi towards the end
of his 15 minute speech in naxal hit hillside Ahraura Deeh of Mirzapur
district of East UP.
Addressing a crowd of over one lakh people gathered from across East
UP, Gandhi lashed out against the BSP govt in UP, saying the BSP govt
terms itself as govt of Dalits.
But ask me as during my tour to various Dalit villages, what I've
heard. "The Dalits say kaun si sarkar, yahan koi sarkar nahi hai"
(which govt there is no govt here).
It's the Congress that will defeat the BSP, but the story will not end
here. We need to build a UP of bright future for which youth like you
are necessary.
Maintaining that youth power is the instrument of change and
development in UP, Gandhi said "aap jahan bulayenge main aane ke liye
taiyar hoon aur apki ladai ladoonga" (call me where ever you want and
I will be there to wage a fight for you) said Gandhi sowing the seeds
of a youth movement for political change in UP.
Youths from UP, not finding development here go to Maharashtra, where
they are ousted insultingly. Also they bring prosperity in New Delhi,
Punjab and Haryana, but don't find jobs in their own state with a
population of 18 crores.
Added Gandhi, look at Sonebhadra district of East UP, which has lost
it's copper industry and the present govt in the state has also failed
to do anything for weavers..is there really a govt here.
Let me assure you Cong will bring development in UP and build a
prosperous future for youths, who have not reaped benefits of MNREGS,
largest employment scheme in the world.
"In all states (irrespective of who rules there) MNREGS is a hit, but
in UP the commoners say they don't know about it due to faulty
implementation by the BSP govt, which does not send use full central
funds.
