And this from Priyanka
Development not on opposition parties' agenda : Priyanka
Amethi
Lashing out at opposition parties Congress'star campaigner Priyanaka Gandhi today said they do not have development on their agenda and are only indulging in vote and power politics.
"The opposition parties do not have development on their agenda. They are only indulging in vote and power politics, through which development cannot be achieved," Priyanka said addressing election meetings across the Amethi parliamentary constutituency to campaign for her brother Rahul Gandhi.
Claiming that Congress is the only party which has given priority to development, she said," Some persons are against the UPA government and are opposing it, but whatever the existing dispensation did was never done by any of the non- Congress governments. NREGA ensured 100 days'job to the people and loan waiver scheme helped thousands of farmers across the country."
Accusing in Uttar Pradesh Government of creating hurdles in the development of Amethi and Rae Bareli parliamentary constituencies, she said,"You all (people) know about the hurdles being created by the state government, as a result of which a number of institutes cannot be established here."
Drumming up support for the AICC General Secretary, Priyanka said,"I know that you all love Rahul a lot and he will win by a huge margin, but this is only possible when voting percentage increases. The vote percentage should increase from 47 per cent polled in last elections."
Priyanka who is on a whirlwind tour of Amethi constituency, slated to go to polls on April 23, is scheduled to hold a meeting with senior party functionaries, leaders and poll agents in the evening at Munshiganj guest house.
