The elephant in UP eating away all money: Rahul on Maya

Uttar Pradesh, Nov 25: Slamming Chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, AICC General secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the elephant in UP was eating away all the money meant for poor.

Rahul Gandhi, who is on a five day public contact programme in the state, is continuing his tirade against the UP government on their governance.

Hurling the attack on SP leaders, Rahul Gandhi on Nov 24 had said that during previous SP rule, police stations were run by criminals. "In the past SP regime too, people did not get justice... At that time, police stations were run by criminals," he had said at a rally in Balrampur.

Rahul during his rally also criticised BJP and said,"In 2004 (during the general elections) the opposition had launched 'India shining' campaign...They can give this slogan as their leaders do not visit your houses, don't eat food with you, drink dirty water of your wells...they can say India is shining."
