Striking an emotional chord with ex-servicemen, rural folk, women and youth, Mr. Gandhi said that the UPA accepted the 25-year-old demand of “one rank one pay” to ex-servicemen and that the decision to increase the number of subsidised LPG cylinders from 9 to 12 was also taken based on the demand of women. Accusing the BJP of taking credit for infrastructural development works of UPA, Mr. Gandhi said that the UPA government constructed three times more roads than the NDA in five years and now a manufacturing corridor and a freight corridor is being developed to generate employment and give a boost to manufacturing sector.
