Mayawati, Mulayam have forgotten people after becoming big leaders: Rahul

Targeting UP Chief Minister Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam
Singh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi today said they have "forgotten" the people
after becoming big leaders and they "don't feel for them".
"They (Mayawati and Mulayam) have become big leaders. They can travel
in helicopters. But they do not feel angry now when they see
sufferings. They do not feel anything when farmers' land spanning
2,000 km is taken away.
"That time has gone when these leaders used to feel for the people.
They don't feel anything when contractors are minting money. I have
learnt many things from Mulayamji. But he is not there in your midst.
He does not come to you. His anger (against injustice) is over,"
Gandhi said.
Addressing a rally here on the second day of his five-day tour, Gandhi
said Congress-led government brought the land acquisition bill but it
was prevented by opposition parties.
"People were killed in Bhatta-Parsaul. What is happening in Uttar
Pradesh? Samajwadi Party leaders are sitting in their rooms. Who
brought the land acquisition bill? We brought it. Who is opposing it?
The Opposition is doing that. They do not want you to gain," he said.
He said Mayawati "does not bother about" what was happening in the state.
Claiming that he visited a hospital where there no patients but a
painting job was on due to her visit, he said the painters told him
that they were doing it as the chief minister was visiting the
hospital.
"There were no patients, no nurses, no doctors. But painting was on
because the administration wanted to show her the hospital in good
condition when she passes through the area. She does not know what is
happening. She does not come to your house. She does not eat with
you," he said.
Taking a dig at Mulayam, he said, the SP chief aligned with former BJP
leader Kalyan Singh for power in the last elections.
