Sipahijala, February 11 2013:
Launching a frontal attack on the CPM Government in Tripura, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday explained to the public here the policies of his party and urged them to defeat the organisation prevailing in the state for future growth and development.
"The level of development that should have taken place here is not there.
Do you agree on this? CPM has ruled here for 20 years.
If you go to other places of the country such as Delhi, Maharashtra you will find that the nation is moving ahead with great force.
Because the power has been vested in the hands of the common man.
And when the common man is given decision-making power, the state moves forward," Gandhi told a public rally here.
"In general, there is the government and public in a state.
But in Tripura, there is the government, the public and in between is the organisation.
And this organistaion works in its own interest.
It does not think about the common man, it thinks about itself.
And whatever we send from Delhi, be it the MNREGA or money for construction of roads or money for development, it is taken away by the organisation in the middle and the common man just sees it,be it about MNREGA, schools or roads.
If it is about road contracts then the money goes to the CPM worker.
CPM workers get appointed as teachers and in other jobs.
And if you are not a CPM worker then you can get nothing in Tripura," he added.
