I will see that issues relating to people of Bundelkhand are resolved”, Rahul Gandhi had said while speaking to a delegation of people from Bundelkhand.

Due to his efforts Center sanctioned a special package of Rs 8,000 crores for integrated development of the region. But even then Mayawati spent less than 10% of the funds for development of Bundelkhand and that too on the papers only while nothing substantial was done of the ground, said Congress (I).

Rahul Gandhi: People of U.P tired of caste politics

AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who has been leading the campaign for the Congress in the poll bound Uttar Pradesh said that the BJP, SP and BSP are only talking of a particular caste or religion and only the Congress works for the entire people. He said that Congress is not thinking of caste or religion but only about development.

Lashing out against caste based politics of BSP, SP and BJP, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said people are now tired of the group identity politics.  Castist politics is inherently incapable of taking all the people together because it looks to serve only the interest of particular group of persons, he said.  As such interests of only few persons have been the concern of BJP, SP and BSP in the last 22 years. These governments had no vision, no agenda for the people of the state.  As such development of the state has languished, said Rahul Gandhi. None of the governments of these parties solved the issues of the people. BJP government only promoted its ideology while Mulayam Singh Yadav’s SP indulged in corruption. But BSP government of Mayawati turned out to be worst.  Congress (I) being a secular party will work for people without discrimination of caste or religion assured Rahul Gandhi.
