July 8th, 2011 - 9:27 pm ICT by IANS
Bajna (Mathura), July 8 (IANS) Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, on a padyatra in western Uttar Pradesh against land acquisition by the Mayawati government, accused it of favouring builders and not farmers.
He also assured farmers that when the Congress returns to power in Uttar Pradesh it would be a government of the people.
Speaking to farmers a day ahead of his mega farmers rally in Aligarh, Rahul Gandhi promised that the government would bring in a friendly land acquisition bill.
“The state government’s intention here does not seem to be good. It seems the state wishes to help only one person - the builders, not the farmers,” he said.
He added: “If the Congress government comes to power in UP, it will be your government. It will not be the Congress government but the government of the people of Uttar Pradesh.”
