\nBSP president Mayawati on Tuesday took a swipe at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for his promise of providing minimum income on coming to power and wondered if it was another cruel joke like the promises of \u201cgaribi hatao\u201d or \u201cachchey din\u201d.<\/p>\n
The BSP leader advised Rahul Gandhi to first implement schemes relating to poverty alleviation and others related to welfare of people in Congress-ruled states especially in Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh so that people have faith that they can be implemented properly at the national level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe promise of Congress just before the Lok Sabha elections of guaranteeing minimum income has led to surprise and created doubts among countrymen,\u201d BSP president Mayawati said in a party release issued here.<\/p>\n
Is this promise another cruel joke like the Congress\u2019 promise of \u201cgaribi hatao\u201d or that of the present BJP government of depositing Rs 15 to 20 lakh in the account of all poor or \u201cachchey din\u201d which have only proved to be hollow promises, Mayawati wondered.<\/p>\n
The record of both the BJP and the Congress is not good when it comes to election promises, she said and added that even if such promises have been implemented they have proved to be a mere eyewash.<\/p>\n
People can see results of \u201cgaribi hatao\u201d slogan of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi for themselves, she said, adding both the Congress and BJP should not make any promise which they cannot fulfil.<\/p>\n
People have tested both the Congress and BJP in the past 72 years and therefore it is the appeal of the BSP that they believe the party which works more than making tall clams and promises, she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
