Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi in Gunnaur (U.P) Part 1

Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Babrala, Gunnaur All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi said that the non-Congress governments in UP, during the past 20 years, have pulled the state backwards. Kicking off the second phase of Congress’ Campaign in the run up to the upcoming assembly polls in the state Rahul Gandhi promised that the Congress government will lead Uttar Pradesh back to the top position again.
Referring JSY scheme Rahul Gandhi said, the 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 funds 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 in the record books 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.”
