"UPA is fighting terrorism and winning. During NDA regime, a minister had accompanied terrorists to Kandahar and the then Government bowed down before terrorists when they hijacked a plane. Congress has not that kind of submission nor it will ever do," Rahul said addressing an election rally in Raipur on Monday.
He said the BJP is making terrorism an issue as they did not want to answer what they have done on developmental and growth fronts in Chhattisgarh for the last five years.
"When we ask them what they have done on developmental and growth fronts, they start raising the issue of terrorism," the Congres leader said.
He termed the UPA government as "Aam Admi Ki Sarkar" and counted the Centre's pro-poor measures such as National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), mid-day meal scheme, farmer's loan waiver programme and tribal land rights Act.
"The BJP Government in Chhattisgarh should ask itself what it has done for poor people," he said.
Greeting the crowd by saying "Chhattisgariya Sable Badhiya", Rahul asked the people to consider before voting whether the BJP fulfilled its election promises during the five-year rule.

Rahul is not a 'Baccha' . But he is sure of people infront of him listening are fools.Rahul better be a critic of UPA in terrorist front. You project yourself as sensible and not a 'bafoon...'
This man became an M.P on the name of his Late grandmother and Late father as he belonged to the family as long as you have people likke Mr Sivaraj Patil as home minister and you govern the country on the suppot of the likes of Mr Mulyam Singh Yadav and the congress party to get the minority votes plays drama in the lives of the people You people dont have the backbone and guts to eradicate terrorism. The people of our country cannot be fooled for long Mr Rahul Gandhi?????? INDIA WILL BECOME WORLD NO ONE IF THE CONGRESS PARTY IS DISSOLVED ?????
Rahul seems to be living in a world of his own. Instead of pointing the faults of others, he should try to reform his own party and remove the partymen, who amassed huge wealth. now, anybody can mobilise crowds to cheer the politicians by throwing money.It does not mean you have a huge following. Terrorism in one issue, where every party failed. Everyone is afraid of losing vote banks. Some states under Congress rule are offering subsidies for everything. The oppostion parties are promising a lot more if they come to power.You can not go on infinitely on such things
Rahul should also tell people Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi died due to terrorism when Congress was in power and for thousands of Sikhs massacred by Congress when Indira died in Delhi . He should know NDA saved lives of 300 airline passengers even though they were forced to exchange few terrorists. Parliament attack terrorists were handed over to Court which has punished with Capital sentence. It is Congress unable to do any thing. On development front also people know how India;s growth during NDA rule is several times better than current UPA Govt Rule.
congress should not thrust on the people such inexperienced person, who is not aware of the history of india in real terms. at 35 he enters politics, 36 he becomes MP, 40 he becomes a candidate for PM is ridiculous. he should have started his poltical career in the students wing, then youth wing and then seniors. straight descending on the scene and grooming him to be PM is unfair to the veterans who are in the party. if they want him to take over PMship, they should give him a thorough orientation, instead of sending a fresher to the scene to shout whatever he feels without understanding repercussions. his speech in parliament was also typical of humiliating others, rather than any substance in his or the party's approach. dont think that just because he is a gandhi family member, he is aware of everything.
Rahul has a point. For BJP, terrorsim is synonymous with Muslims only and now that the names of some Hindus, who has or had links with BJP and its parivar are coming up, they are losing sleep. BJP is guilty of communlaising terror while the UPA can at least claim that all terror acts , whether committed by one community or the other are being investigated. It may be worthwhile granting autonomy to a federal agency like CBI so that politics over terrorism can be nipped in the bud.
The order for torturing Hindu saints have come from this fellow.The torture allegation is a very serious issue and as the state and central governments are party to it. No body can stop the tradition of family tragedies in Nehru family and I am sure the family tradition will follow Sonia Rahul and Priyanka. All Hindus to do the needful that Hindu saints are not tortured in India by anyone. I request all to list down the name address, list of family members of each of the ATS member in posting or in websites so that we can love them. It is time that ordinary citizens to take corrective measures to stop this barbaric thing. Money for corrective action is of no concern. No Hindu organisation or BJP did anything. First we should love the family members of ATS so that they will feel the pain of the public..Public prosecutor is Ajay Misar. ATS head is Mumbai joint police commissioner Hemant Karkare. Mohan Kulkarni is his deputy.
I would like to know from Natarajan how many politicians in India are matured.
Statistics indicate Rahul Gandhi is telling the truth. During the rule of the Hindutva politicians (1993-2003) there had been sharp rise in the number of terrorists. (there were more than 36,000 cases of terrorism and violence in the country in which 11,714 persons were killed.) But during the period of UPA Administration, there have been 24,967 cases of terrorism and violence in which 6,636 persons were killed. The statistics speak for themselves. Hence it is not true that Congress is soft on terrorism and BJP was hard on terrorism. The fact is that Congress is soft on Hindutva but BJP is hard on Hindutva and harder Hindutva encourages BJP outfits to boldly get involved in terrorist activities knowing pretty well that the party and politicians know how to pull string and how to twist the hands of the law enforcing authorities and the judiciary. So the equation is Congress=less terrorism=more minority votes; BJP=more terrorism= more Hindu Votes.
Mr.Subtukalilima, Your statement is not correct. The Hinutva piloticians ruled only for 5 years and not 10 years. Please comment with proper facts and figures other wise you will end up as another Rahul Gandhi.
So let us wait, and give congress another term and then we can completethe statistics on terrorism, killingsinnocent in the name of religion.
Congress is the biggest supporter of Terrorism in this Country. Rahul should have read the history of Congress before his statement. Congress is the one who supported Bhinderwale, MCC in Bihar, NSCM in Nagaland, MNS in Maharashtra and now ATS.
When I see these Baba log, I feel that Pol Pot was partly correct. These rich urban educated people ARE a cancer. Lous XVI and Marie Antoinette had much more reality connect than them. His Grandmother? Incorporated India Pvt. Ltd., revoked civil liberties, instigated and supported Bhindranwale, caused the Nellie massacre and so on. And her henchmen like the Mishra brothers, and the Shuklas and many others who started the criminalisation of Indian politics? His father? After his famous statement that only 15% of development funds reached the beneficiaries, never did anything to change the status quo. He is as much guilty as L K Advani for dividing the Hindus and the Muslims ( by opening the locks at the Ram Janma Bhoomi, he gave the first encouragement to the Hindutva forces). Remember the Sikhs who died in 1984, when he became the role model for Narendra Modi in 2002? And his famous comment on that occasion? If these people are our fate, how much we must have sinned in the past!
Rahul Gandhi should first of all understand the economy, political scenario etc., before talking. Probably he may be under the impression that the crowd that is gathered by his Party has come to listen to his intelligent(!) speech. He claims that the Government has done so many developmental programmes. Nothing of that sort has really happened Mr Rahul, Mr Manmohan Singh either tours abroad or busy patching up the differences of his UPA Partners. The common man is burdened with more tax and also spiralling price hike of essential commodities. Now-a-days even buying vegetables have become something like a luxury for a middle class family. Reg. Terrorism, you feel that opposition talks only about that. Yes, that is a growing danger and the same has to be put down at all cost. What is wrong in that. If you have any plans on Anti-terrorism and Controlling Price-hike talk on that or else people will decide about UPA very shortly, in the forthcoming elections.
Raul Vinci with a tilak is coming across as a perfect chameleon.
