Rahul's political innings in the state began six years back from a Dalit home here, but nothing has happened here, Vijay Bahadur Pathak, BJP spokesman told IANS.
"Despite the Congress hype of political focus and financial assistance to this area, it sadly contributes for the maximum farmer suicides in the state. Both the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) try to fool the poor people of this region by mere lip service" he added.
Out of the four Lok Sabha seats in the region - Jalaun, Hamirpur, Banda and Jhansi, the BJP holds no seat, while the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) have two seats each.
