Rahul: Maya, Mulayam have forgotten people of UP

November 23, 2011 13:10

Detals of Rahul Gandhi's speech on the second day of his rally in UP: Targeting UP Chief Minister Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi today said they have "forgotten" the people after becoming big leaders and they "don't feel for them".

"They (Mayawati and Mulayam) have become big leaders. They can travel in helicopters. But they do not feel angry now when they see sufferings. They do not feel anything when farmers' land spanning 2,000 km is taken away.

"That time has gone when these leaders used to feel for the people. They don't feel anything when contractors are minting money. I have learnt many things from Mulayamji. But he is not there in your midst. He does not come to you. His anger (against injustice) is over," Gandhi said.

Gandhi said Congress-led government brought the land acquisition bill but it was prevented by opposition parties.
