Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who had campaigned for Congress in Uttar Pradesh addressed a public meeting in Balbhadrapur which comes under Amethi Parliamentary constituency, the constituency of Congress General Secretary and her brother Rahul Gandhi.
In Balbhadrapur, the star campaigner for Congress said, 'I was here during the last assembly elections and asked you to vote for Naeemji. 'But you didn't. What did you get in return? You suffered for five years.
'Your MLA didn't do anything for you. The roads were constructed with central funds. 'You got water because of central assistance. 'But your MLA has built a huge bungalow using your money,' said Priyanka Gandhi
Referring to the attempt to murder case against Matiyari, Priyanka Gandhi said the situation had become so deplorable that people now appreciate a legislator if he doesn't murder or harm anyone.
Criticising the existing trend in politics, she said, 'You have seen the politics of religion and caste in the past 22 years. 'Development has been put on the backburner. Politics has become bad and opportunistic”. 'The politicians divide your votes on the lines of religion and caste. You vote for them and then you beg to them,' she added. Priyanka Gandhi told the crowd that her brother and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi was more interested in changing the state than winning elections.
'He (Rahul Gandhi) is very stubborn. I had asked him during the previous assembly election why he was working so hard when the verdict was not known? He told me he was least interested in it and said his focus was to bring a positive change in the state,’ said Priyanka Gandhi. 'I too now believe that the time has come to make a sea change here,' said Priyanka Gandhi.
'The election is not about the prestige of my family. That is another issue. But here it is about you and your children's future” reminded Priyanka Gandhi.
This will be possible only when the Congress is strengthened and its government is formed in UP,' she added.
