    Rahul Gandhi hails Congress contribution to Uttar Pradesh

    Chandauli/Varanasi, Feb 10 (ANI): Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has hailed his party's contribution to the overall development and progress of Uttar Pradesh, despite not being in power.

    Addressing a rally in Chandauli, Gandhi said that when in power, the Congress party had launched series of schemes for the upliftment of the poor and development of entire state.

    "The state will progress when your voices will reach to Lucknow and Delhi. In 2004, you made our government; we waved off your loans, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), Bundelkhand package, Sachar commission, reservation, right to food, right to education, right to information. We did all these things when we were in power," Gandhi added.

    Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said that the Congress party would form the government on its own.

    "We are not contesting elections to form a coalition government. We want to form the government on our own. We don't want anybody to suspect us that we are contesting elections to form coalition government. The coalition governments in Uttar Pradesh have failed and such kind of government is not meant to benefit Uttar Pradesh. We are contesting these elections, we are campaigning, we have a strategy in place and we want to form the government in Uttar Pradesh on our own," he added.

    The Uttar Pradesh polls are being viewed as an opportunity for major parties to re-establish their foothold in the country's fifth largest and most populous state.

    A new 403-member state assembly will be elected in March. The poll results will broadly indicate trends for the 2014 general elections. (ANI)

      Congress has contributed maximum to UP. It has brought it down from one of the best to one of the worst. During Kamala Poti Tripathi's time did he require many security people? Now his son another Tripathi, who is almost nothing, needs Z++ security. Kamala Poti, Bahuguna, N. D. Tiwari and more Gandhi cap leaders made UP what it is today!

      Here goes the Jai Rajiv Ramesh. He was one one of the money collectors for Rajiv in his office. Rajiv used to take monies for each signature. Now the same person is Jai Sonia Ramesh. He invented environmental clearance business. His ministry slept all along on Adarsh. But any thing running like a mine, steel plant and so needed a clearance. Another opportunity for Sonia and her gang to make monies for each signature on environmental clearance!
