Rahul Gandhi in Gunnaur says Central funds are being misused in U.P

Kicking off his second phase of the Congress Campaign for the upcoming assembly polls in the state, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi promised that Congress can bring back Uttar Pradesh to the top position again. Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Babrala in Gunnaur AICC General Secretary said that all the non-Congress Governments which ruled the state for the past 20 years pulled the state backward.

Referring JSY scheme Rahul Gandhi said, “Janansi Suraksha Yojana (JSY) scheme meant for the benefit of the poor women is also being misused in Uttar Pradesh. Every poor woman is entitled to get Rs 1,400 under this scheme to meet the expenses for the delivery. But in Uttar Pradesh the money meant for the poor women do not reach them. Instead the women are forced to bribe the authorities. The Youth Congress workers could gather information through the RTI that same women are shown to deliver baby every week. This clearly indicates that the money that should have actually reached the poor women is not reaching them.” Rahul Gandhi also commented about the NRHM scam reported in the state.

Rahul Gandhi said that the UPA Government realizes the strength of the farmers as well as their difficulties. “UPA is committed for the welfare of the farmers. Only with that intention, the Government at the centre brought in the Rs. 60000 cr loan waive-off policy. It was with the same intention to serve the common man Indira Gandhi had introduced the policy of nationalization of the banks” said the Congress M.P from Amethi.
