Congress president addresses two rallies in UP

February 01, 2012 14:59

Kicking off her election campaign in Uttar Pradesh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today attacked Chief Minister Mayawati for dismissing her ministers on election eve and asked whether this has cleansed her government.

"The present chief minister dismissed 21 of her ministers on election eve. She was not able to see their corruption in the past five years. I want to ask whether taking resignations made her government clean," Gandhi said. "Is this not cheating the people...not an attempt to cheat the people," she asked at Gonda.

Gandhi is scheduled to address another election rally at Deoris.
