Promising free food grains to the poor if Samajwadi Party supported Third Front comes to power Mulayam Singh Yadav said that UPA’s Food security Bill was nothing but a Rs dhokha’ with the people of this country.
Addressing a 'Desh Bachao, Desh banao' rally in Mainpuri here on Thursday he said that if SP supported Third Front comes to power the poor would get food grains free of cost. They do not have to spend Rs 1 or Rs 2 as assured by the UPA Government in its Food security bill. "The miseries of the people would only end only if Third Front comes to power because it would be pro-poor, pro-farmers and pro-kisan. It under stands the problems of the people better than pro-capitalist parties like Congress and BJP," he said in the rally.
The rally was held in Mainpuri - the parliamentary constituency of Mulayam Singh Yadav. His younger brother Shivpal Singh Yadav, who is also PWD Minister in the present Government, is legislator from Jaswant Nagar that also falls under Mainpuri. Besides the adjoining districts of Etawah, Kannauj, Ferozabad, Etah and Auriya are considered to be the strong hold of SP and in the last assembly elections the party had made a clean sweep.
Mulayam extolled the party workers to forget their differences and work unitedly for betterment of the party. He said SP would play a decisive role post-lok Sabha election. Regional parties will do well in their states. In Uttar Pradesh SP will sweep lok Sabha election with your support. He said a canard is being spread against the SP Government after Muzaffarnagar riots. There is an attempt to mislead the Muslims whereas the Akhilesh Yadav government has done a tremendous job in providing relief to the victims. "We have acted tough against the communal forces therefore some political parties have hatched a conspiracy against us. Tell people the truth and tell them how SP Government is working for thr welfare of the poor and the needy, he said.
Hitting out at Congress he said that the UPA Government has given poverty and misery to the people while the previous BSP government was involved in a scam of over Rs 25,000 crore. He even called BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi, as TV ka neta who is confined to 26 lok Sabha seats of Gujarat. "Modi can be seen only on TV and in Gujarat and he has no impact anywhere in the country," he said.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said that his government has fulfilled all the promises party had made during assembly elections. "Some political parties have taken up communal agenda to win votes theough their leaders is being projected as development man," he said without taking name of Narendra Modi or BJP. Several UP ministers including Balram Yadav and Ramgovind Choudhury also addressed the gathering.
