Congress' star campaigner Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday launched a frontal attack on the BSP government in Uttar Pradesh alleging that it was wasting money on statues and parks instead of development of the state.

Addressing a series of poll meetings here, Priyanka said there is a chance to effect a change in the state after 22 years and sought votes for bringing the Congress to power.

She alleged that the Uttar Pradesh government led by Mayawati was wasting money and parks and not on development.

"Public money is not for leaders, it is for common man. It is not for statues or parks. The UP government has looted the state...It is time to bring in change in Uttar Pradesh after 22 years," Priyanka said.

"Your vote will determine your future for the next five years. Strengthen the hands of Congress and bring it to power," she said.

Campaigning in the twin family pocket boroughs of Amethi and Rae Bareli, Priyanka said that there is a 'wind in favour of Congress in the state this time'.

Accompanied by her two children, Rehan and Miraya, she arrived here this morning to start the next leg of her campaigning in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

"Rahul is touring the state extensively for bringing in a change and he would definitely do it...there is a wind in favour of the Congress this time," she said while addressing a meeting in Karhaiya Bazar area under Salon Assembly constituency in favour of party nominee Shiv Balak Pasi.
