Rahul Gandhi – boon for Bundelkhand


While attacking Mayawati for neglecting the pain of the people of drought-hit Bundelkhand, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi assured that development of the region will be taken care of by his party. “Leave it to me. I will see that issues relating to people of Bundelkhand are resolved”, Rahul Gandhi had said while speaking to a delegation of people from Bundelkhand. While Mayawati government has neglected development of this region, it is Rahul Gandhi who took the lead to solve the problems of the region, said Congress (I).  The Congress leader has been visiting various areas in Bundelkhand and interacting with the people to realize their issues. Due to his efforts and initiative Congress-led Central Government approved a special relief package of Rs 8,000 crores for integrated development of the region, informed Congress. But even then Mayawati spent less than 10% of the funds for development of Bundelkhand and that too on the papers only while nothing substantial was done of the ground, said Congress (I).

It is a reality that the Bundelkhand relief package was sanctioned by the Congress led UPA Government at the Centre because of the initiative of Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi had visited the Bundelkhand region, interacted with people and ascertained the gravity of the situation in the drought-hit area.
