Rahul Gandhi slams Mayawati govt for misuse of central funds: Rahul Gandhi

Blaming Mayawati for bad situation in UP Congress (I) general secretary Rahul Gandhi has slammed her for misuse of funds. Congress (I)-led UPA government provided maximum funds for development schemes, yet there is no visible improvement in the state, Rahul Gandhi said while campaigning for the ongoing Assembly elections. “I have seen the pathetic conditions of people of Bundelkhand. People have deserted villages because of drought; there is hunger and unemployment,” he further said. At his instance a special package of Rs 8,000 crore was sanctioned for development of Bundelkhand region. But she failed to spend less than 10% of special package funds causing the region to continue to suffer while funds were actually available. “In these circumstances there is no point giving more money which disappears through leaking pipes, he added. Highlighting that she compounded the miseries of the people, Rahul Gandhi said she has benefited herself at the cost the poor. He appealed the people to vote for Congress (I) and assured that a government of the poor by Congress (I) will work for welfare of the poor and dalits.
