Maya, Mulayam days are numbered, says Rahul

On the second day of his tour to eastern UP, AICC general secretary
Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday targeted both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh
Yadav, calling them "big leaders'' who move in helicopters but have
distanced themselves from the people.
Addressing party workers at Gend Ghar ground in Bahraich city, and
later a public meeting in Matesar Bazar about 30 km away, Rahul said
that days of both these leaders are over, and the Congress would bring
a government of all castes and religions.
"Earlier, Mayawati and Mulayam Singh used to work at the grassroots
but now both have become big leaders. They move in helicopters. They
don't feel angry when they see problems of people. They have distanced
themselves from the people," Rahul said, adding, "Mayawati, Mulayam
Singhji ka samay beet gaya."
Targeting the BSP, he said, "Mayawati does not come to your house, she
does not eat with you. She has created a distance.''
Rahul said he moves among the people because of the lessons given by
the late Indira Gandhi. "My grandmother had told me that if I wish to
understand India, then I have to move out of Delhi to the houses of
dalits, tribals, eat with them, drink their water, understand their
pain and I would continue to do this," he said.
He said that the UPA government introduced MGNREGA, which ensures a
payment of Rs 120 daily for 100 days, Rs 12,000 a year but in UP
people do not get job cards. "The money goes to ministers and
officers," he said.
"It is the biggest programme to provide employment. Go to
Congress-ruled Haryana, Assam, Maharashtra and you'll find people
benefitting from the scheme but your CM feels it is useless. I heard
her contradicting my statement but I will tell her the exact date,
October 9, 2007, when she spoke against the scheme," he added.
