Non-Congress govts kept UP backward, forced people to migrate: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of the Congress Party blamed successive governments of rival parties in Uttar Pradesh for the state’s economic backwardness, which forced people to migrate to other states as labourers.
In a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi claimed that he has only worked for billionaires who do not provide employment.
Coming together for a joint rally in Amethi, which had long been the party’s pocket borough until Rahul Gandhi lost it to Smriti Irani in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the Congress leaders urged people to vote for their own good and the good of their children, rather than on emotional issues of caste and religion.”It’s because you’ve been voting for the Samajwadi Party, the BJP, and the BSP for years.
All of them made false promises after false promises and stole your money “He went on to say this, apparently in response to rivals who have been blaming the Congress for people’s migration.
He accused PM Modi of only assisting large industrialists, claiming that billionaires do not create jobs.”It is small and medium traders and farmers who generate employment, and this section, which is the backbone of job givers, has been broken,” he said, adding that there will be no jobs for the youth, even those with proper education, under these conditions.
Last October’s violence killed eight people, four of whom were farmers. Cars allegedly carrying BJP workers mowed down the farmers. Ashish Mishra, the son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, was arrested in the case.
The Congress leaders also discussed the development and infrastructure construction that occurred in Amethi during the previous Congress-led UPA government.
The brother-sister rally came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a rally in Amethi, which was attended by Union Minister and Amethi MP Smriti Irani.
On February 27, voters will cast ballots for five Assembly seats in the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in the fifth phase of the UP Assembly elections.
