Rahul a liberal, looks upon all as equals: Priyanka

Amethi: Hitting out at critics of Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi today said her brother's style of politics was “liberal” and not “opaque” and that he worked for the development of every section and looked upon

“Rahulji has done a lot of development work. The works done by him will help people reap benefit in the coming 10 to 20 years. He is a visionary like his father whose initiatives are bearing fruit today,” Priyanka said.  

She, however, acknowledged that there are still several issues which need to be addressed including the electricity crisis in the constituency and also blamed the state government for its slackness in development work.

“I know there is a power problem here. Rahul initiated steps to bring electricity. But the supply of the electricity is state government's responsibility,” she said.

She said that some year's back Congress President Sonia Gandhi had spoken to SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav about providing 24 hour power supply to both Amethi and Rae Bareli.

But some political parties went to high court asking why these areas were being given special treatment, Priyanka said and added that till these issues are resolved providing uninterrupted power supply would be a problem.
