With BJP tom-tomming about development of roads in states ruled by it, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said mere creation of infrastructure has no meaning till the needy have access to education and healthcare.
Criticising the Opposition for indulging in the "politics of the rich", Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that his party always stood for the poor and weaker sections of the society.
"Congress' politics is for the poor and weaker sections, while the Opposition indulges in that of the rich. Congress' dream is to work for the upliftment of the poor, Dalits and tribals," Rahul said.
We want the adivasi youth who have gathered here be able to go to school and get education, Rahul added.
In his series of attack Rahul said that BJP’s marketing is very good, they will show you many different camera angles but the truth is different.
Congress wants to break the wall which is dividing the poor and the rich, he said while addressing an election meet at the Talanpur Maidan in Sidhi. Rahul said his party believed in development. "But mere construction of roads or providing electricity does not help hungry people," he said.
Therefore, the UPA government brought the Food Security Bill. But the Opposition sought to know from where the money would come to implement it, he said. "However, the UPA very well knows from where funds would be raised to implement an important programme like the Food Security Bill," he said.
Rahul attacked the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh for reducing the budget for the welfare of tribals.
We found out that the number of roads constructed during UPA is three times than NDA, Rahul further added.
"The present BJP government in Madhya Pradesh is only concerned about the rich... Congress' ideology is to take along all the sections of the society, while the opposition only believed in dividing people," he said.
