Farrukhabad (UP): Claiming that Congress was the only party which could provide a stable Government at the Centre, Congress' star campaigner Rahul Gandhi today (May 2, 2004) said development had come to a halt during the successive non-Congress regimes.

Addressing people during his roadshow for party nominee Louis Khursheed, Rahul urged the people to vote for the Congress as it was the only party which could resolve their pressing problems.

Development of the State had come to a standstill during the successive non-Congress regimes, the Congress' heir apparent said, asserting that only his party could provide stability.

A huge crowd greeted Rahul throughout the 35-km route between Kayamganj and Farrukhabad, where he was showered with flowers by enthusiastic supporters.

The crowd forced Rahul to make unscheduled stops at several places and shook hands with the young leader.

He freely mingled with the people and also enquired about their problems.

During the over three-hour roadshow, Rahul also highlighted the "failures" of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government.
