The guarantee given to women was a major factor in Congress' victory in this Lok Sabha election. During the election campaign, Congress had promised that if they won the election, 1 lakh rupees would be deposited in the accounts of women. Congress leaders also said in the campaign that women should come and collect the money on June 5. Yesterday, a huge crowd of women gathered at the Congress office in Lucknow with the hope of getting the Congress guarantee card and one lakh rupees.
Crowd of women outside Congress office
Women and elderly people were sitting outside the Congress office with guarantee cards. They were determined to get the form. They were confident that if they got the form, even one lakh rupees would be immediately credited to their account. Originally, the Congress had promised during the election campaign that if a coalition government was formed in India, it would give one lakh rupees annually to women. That is, eight and a half thousand rupees would be given every month. As soon as the news spread that the forms were being given from the Congress office in Lucknow, women started gathering.
If someone got the form, then he was disappointed as he did not get any other form. There are those who feel that they might lose one lakh rupees every year. But the old mother has reached the Congress office with only the guarantee card. So that no one can say anything.
Go to Congress office to ask for money from Congress
A woman named Zubaida who came there said that now the Congress government is going to be formed. Now Rahul Gandhi will fulfill his promise to us. He had said during the elections that he will deposit Rs 8500 per month in the accounts of women. We have come to the office in view of his promise.' Like us, some other women will also fill the form and send it by tomorrow to avail the benefits of this scheme.
Zubaida further said that at first I was not allowed to enter the Congress office. But then I became stubborn. So let me go. We are very happy that Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav won the elections. Another woman who reached the Congress office said, Rahul Gandhi will fulfill our demands. We have full faith that he will fulfill the promises he made during the election campaign.
If government is formed then we will fulfill our promise- Congress
Meanwhile, Congress leader CP Rai said that we have received news that some women have reached the Congress office. Someone must have told them that the government has been formed. But the government has not been formed yet. We assure that if our government is formed, we will fulfill the promises made to women and work in public interest. The party has credibility. People have faith in us that whatever decision the party takes, it fulfills it.
This woman may not know political mathematics but she knows that India has defeated the alliance in UP. Therefore, Congress will fulfill its promise. Whereas the government is going to be formed by NDA. India alliance is still far from the majority. If Congress does not form the government, then how will they fulfill their election promises. In such a situation, the promise made by Congress to women can be reversed.
