Lucknow: Addressing a press conference at the state Congress headquarters, former minister Ajay Rai, president of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, said that now BJP people are seeing the Congress party in their dreams. They are seeing Rahul Gandhi, Kharge and Priyanka as well as our workers and the entire army in their dreams. Yesterday, BJP’s state executive meeting was held. BJP people say that our party is different from other parties. It should be completely different and it is. Its example can be seen in this way that all the programs of BJP are happening inside all the universities, whether it is in Ram Manohar Lohia Law University Lucknow or Kashi Vidyapeeth in Varanasi. He asked a question through the media that why are BJP people politicizing educational institutions?
Can you tell if any program of Congress is happening in any educational institution? We Congress people do not organize any program in educational institutions. Government programs must have happened, you also have a government, you can also do it, but why are all the programs being done in educational institutions only? This is my direct question to the people of BJP. Certainly, educational institutions are being completely destroyed by the BJP.
Universities are being made the centre of the Sangh because the Sangh’s preachers are present there. The result of this was that in the rape incident of the IT student of BHU, the President, General Secretary, Secretary of the BJP’s IT cell and BJP officials raped the student. This is the result of the programs being organized inside universities, guest houses are being booked in the name of MPs and MLAs. I would like to tell you one thing that there are guest houses inside BHU also where the people of the Vidhyarthi Parishad live, but it is not booked in their name, rather they live in the name of some MP or MLA and the Sangh’s preachers and the people of the Vidhyarthi Parishad live there, who propagate the Sangh there and get the Sangh’s branch organized, and that name is changed again after two to three days, then the next booking is done in the name of another MP or MLA, they live there after changing the name and ruin the educational institutions.
He said that during the meeting yesterday, J.P. Nadda ji said that only illiterate people can see inflation and unemployment, that is, according to him, all those who talk about inflation and unemployment are illiterate.
He said that some recruitments are announced in a small hotel, and thousands of applicants reach there, due to which the whole system becomes chaotic. This incident happened in Gujarat. I am talking about the same Gujarat model through which it was said that development is being trumpeted. He said that according to the ILO report, if 100 people are unemployed, then 83 of them are youth, and the worst condition is of Uttar Pradesh. BJP people are saying that employment is being given but the truth is that they have neither any plan nor any system in the name of employment.
During the press conference, showing the poster of Inflation Man Modi, he said that in the last one year, the prices of vegetables have increased by 30 percent, the prices of pulses have increased by 16 percent and in this way every food item has become expensive. The price of crude oil has fallen all over the world and the public here is again having to buy petrol and diesel at high prices.
He said that the investment being claimed by the Yogi government in the name of Investors Summit is also completely full of lies and deceit. In the 2023 summit, MoUs worth 33.5 lakh crores were signed in just three days, and the private investment of the whole of India was 48.5 lakh crores in the same year. This means that UP alone has a 66 percent share in the private investment of the whole of India. This is nothing but a lie. Of the investments promised in all the Investors Summits from 2018 to 2022, only 9 to 10 percent of the investment has been made on the ground.
Yogi ji said one thing during his speech yesterday that he has worked above caste and religion and then in the same speech he started commenting on Muharram. Only Hindus and Muslims want to do this but the people of the country voted on issues. BJP did not speak about inflation and unemployment.
He said that this government has become a paper leak government. Recruitment of RO ARO was canceled, cases of all recruitments from NEET to NET are still going on, they have canceled some recruitments, some cases are pending in the Supreme Court, without saying anything on this, he only spoke about Congress. The main accused of the constable recruitment leak, Vineet Arya, fled abroad, the bulldozer did not run on his house, everyone was arrested, then why was Vineet Arya not arrested.
He said that their Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya says that the workers are not being heard, and I also share the same pain. These are the people sitting in power, they are also upset with the fact that work is not being done in this government. Not only the common man, but even the workers are feeling helpless. The result of Lok Sabha 2024 is the result of their infighting. He said that recently elections were held for 13 assembly seats in seven states in which they lost badly on 11 seats and managed to win with great difficulty on two seats. And these people will be completely wiped out in the coming times. Ayodhya is gone, Kashi was somehow saved from going.
He said that Yogi is working on infrastructure
They claim to be strong but the truth is that in the first rain itself the roads everywhere caved in and there are potholes in the Rampath as well. Mahant Satyendra Das has complained that the roof of the temple is leaking. There is a pothole in the Panchkosi Marg in Kashi. Rs 100 crore was given by the BJP government to a Gujarati company to build it.
Ajay Rai said that the Congress delegation had gone to Basant Kunj where the displaced people of Akbar Nagar have been given a place. The delegation talked to the people on the spot and got to know their problems. One of their main problems is that even after being displaced, the government is demanding five lakh rupees from them for a new house which is completely wrong.
Ajay Rai said that the people of Akbar Nagar used to feed their families by working in small houses. But today where those people have been displaced, there is no means of employment. People are forced to go 15-15 kilometers away to work and feed their families. To come to the city, they have to spend 100 to 200 rupees as fare which is an additional burden for them.
Ajay Rai told that just a few days ago, one of the displaced people, Ishrat Ali, died after falling from the roof. Till now, the administration has not provided any help to the victim’s family.
Ajay Rai said that today I am sharing an important thing with you. During the election, Narendra Modi had said that all the notes have been sent to the Congress Party and Rahul Gandhi in a full tempo. Yesterday, people of the whole country and the world saw who went to the tempo owners, to whom the tempo owners sent the money and who all participated in their celebrations. Our leader Rahul Gandhi is working among the poor and ordinary people of the country. We are proud of such a leader.
Organization General Secretary Anil Yadav, Media Department Vice Chairman Manish Srivastava Hindvi, State Spokesperson Priyanka Gupta, Sachin Rawat, Sudha Mishra, Anamika Yadav, Sunita Rawat, etc. were present in the press conference.
