Country cannot change without support of poor people: Rahul | Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that the country cannot change without the support of the poor people. Gandhi assured the people that the rule of Congress party would be for
the poor. "If you want to change the country, then only one power can change this
and that is the power of India 's poor individuals power. No other power can change
this country and it needs to be merged with politics," said Rahul Gandhi. "Be
it the Dalits (lower caste), tribals, OBCs (other backward class) and Brahmin
of any religion this power needs to get involved," he added, while addressing
an election rally at Sheikhpura in Bihar 's Nawada District. Rahul Gandhi further
said that it is the Congress Government, which has allotted maximum amount of
funds to Bihar under the 'Indira Awas' Housing Development Scheme. Speaking on
the occasion, he questioned the present Government in Bihar for its inefficiency
in curbing the rate of migration and for not providing employment opportunities
to the locals. "Why are these people leaving the state? There must be some reason.
This is happening because they are not getting the employment that they should
be getting in Bihar . The programmes that should be functioning in Bihar are not
being run," said Rahul Gandhi. Over 55 million electorates are expected to exercise
their voting franchise in the ongoing 243-seat assembly election in Bihar . The
fifth and sixth phase of election will take place on November 9 and November 20
for 25 and 26 seats respectively. So far, around 53 percent polling has been recorded in the first three phases of elections. The counting of votes will take place
on November 24.
