Launching a scathing attack against Mayawati government for stealing the money meant for poor people, Congress (I) has said Mayawati government siphoned off MNREGA funds meant for providing employment to poor people living in rural area. Mayawati government is responsible for it and unable to refute the figures details of which have been given to UP government. This serious charge is based on complete details. Congress (I) said a few instances will suffice to bring home the point. In Balrampur – supported by documents – in 2008 the panchayat of that district bought 1.5 lakh calendars under the name of MNREGA – each calendar costing Rs. 31/-. Tents of Rs. 80 lakhs and first-aid boxes of lakhs were again purchased. In Ghonda, in 2007-08, toys of Rs. 37 lakhs were purchased in the name of Women laborers’ crèches. This explains why there are so many complaints from poor people that they did not get their guaranteed right to employment under MNREGA scheme, said Congress (I).
