NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday came together for thir first joint rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha. The two leaders strongly stood against several issues like electoral bonds, MSP for farmers, and unemployment.
Both Rahul and Akhilesh stood strongly against the Agniveer scheme and promised to scrap it.They further added to conduct a caste survey in the state if the INDIA bloc wins in the Lok Sabha elections.
The Agniveer scheme, introduced by the BJP government, is a way to recruit soldiers for the Army, Navy, and Air Force on a four-year contract basis.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav while taking a jibe at the BJP, said that the “winds of change emerging from western UP will sweep across the nation, ushering in a transformation that will not only reshape Uttar Pradesh but will also sweep the BJP out of power.”
While slamming PM Modi’s previous remarks where he called Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav and said that a film starring two princes has been rejected, the SP chief said, “Yesterday’s first-day first-show of the BJP turned out to be a flop show. Their film of lies failed.”
Yadav reinforced the opposition’s claim that the BJP wants a big majority in the Lok Sabha to change the Constitution. He said that the 2024 elections will determine what happens to the people and future generations.
“Those who gave ‘Jumlas’ are now giving guarantees. These are not their guarantees but ‘Ghanti’. We don’t want their guarantee. We want the guarantee of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s Constitution. The guarantee of the Constitution will give us rights and respect. The election of 2024 is for our future as well as the coming generation’s future,” Akhilesh said.
He also claimed that the BJP had ‘lost’ the support of its “traditional voters”.
“Even its traditional supporters are openly opposing the BJP,” he said, apparently referring to the protests by the Rajput community against the BJP in parts of western UP.
Rahul, in his, address accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of helping a few industrialists and neglecting the poor and deprived sections of the society.
“The sons of the country’s billionaires do apprenticeship before entering the job market and then they go for permanent jobs. But the unemployed youth of the country never get this facility. That is why we have brought a new scheme- ‘First job confirmed’. In this, we are going to give the right of apprenticeship to all the graduates and diploma holders of India. Your training will be for one year in government offices, private companies and public sector and you will get Rs 1 lakh,” Rahul said.
He also promised to scrap the Agniveer scheme, increase the Mnrega wages, double the pay for the Anganwadi workers and form a Commission to study and implement schemes for the farmers.
“There are 30 lakh vacant posts in the government sector. We will give these posts to the youth after the elections. Today, 22 persons have the same money as the 70 crore population of the nation… PM Narendra Modi has given all the money of the banks to them (22 people). Where does all of this money come from? This is your money that comes from GST. These billionaires sell Chinese products in India. Small-scale businessmen and artisans who can make ‘Make in India’ a reality, PM Modi brings demonetisation and GST for them,” he added.
He accused the BJP of facilitating the concentration of wealth in the hands of a privileged few, at the expense of the impoverished masses.
“The INDIA bloc, if it forms the next government, would implement a Mahalaxmi Scheme in which one woman from every poor family would receive Rs 1 lakh annually through direct benefit transfer. We are fighting an ideological battle,” he said.
In Amroha, the key electoral battle is between Kanwar Singh Tanwar from the BJP and Danish Ali from the Congress. Mujahid Husain from the BSP is also in the running. A total of 12 candidates are vying for victory in Amroha.
The second phase of voting is scheduled for April 26, covering eight parliamentary constituencies including Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautambuddh Nagar, Bulandshahr (SC), Aligarh, and Mathura.
