Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi kick-started party’s poll campaign in Delhi by addressing a
huge election rally at Mangolpuri. While speaking on the occasion, he showered praises on Congress
government in Delhi led by Sheila Dixit and said that the Congress govt has transformed the state in
the past 15 years. “The shining Metro in Delhi has become a model for others” he said. “The
Congress Government in Delhi has welcomed the migrants with an open heart and also authorised
several resettlement colonies in Delhi. Further ownership rights were handed over to 45
resettlement colonies also by the Congress Govt” said Rahul Gandhi.
“Congress Government at the Centre has initiated a process of granting rights to the people. We
gave you the right to job, right to information and right to food”, said Rahul Gandhi. “The Right to
Information empowered the people. Now they can get any information about the government
functions. The decisions which were taking behind closed doors have now come out open and
people can have access to it now” said the Congress Vice President.
“The Food Security Bill guarantees rights to food for the poor in the country. But the opposition
questioned this policy too by asking from where we will have funds for it. But we showed them that
we can arrange resources for it” said Rahul Gandhi slamming the BJP’s efforts to block the pro-poor
measures of the UPA Government.
“Only Congress understands the pain of the people. They need jobs, they need adequate health
facilities. Most of the earning they make, the poor are forced to spend it on treatment. We realise it
and we framed policies to solve these issues being faced by them” added the Congress leader.
The assembly elections in Delhi will be held on December 4th and the counting will be done on Dec 8.
