Ramnagar (Barabanki), Nov 22: Unfazed by criticism from various quarters, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi today stuck to his controversial remarks on people from Uttar Pradesh begging in other states, terming it as an “unpleasant truth”.
Embarking on a 5-day tour of the poll-bound state, he said when he makes a reference to begging it is opposed by all but there is an urgent need to see this “kadvi sachchi” (unpleasant truth).
The state has been left behind in development and people of Uttar Pradesh will continue to go to other states in search of employment, Gandhi said.
“Political leaders should pull down the glass windows of their cars and look around. I do it”, he said addressing a political rally here.
