While addressing a mammoth public rally in Barabanki during his recent campaign for Congress in the state of Uttar Pradesh, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi slammed the non-Congress governments in the state for the lack of development in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress MP from Amethi alleged that the welfare funds sent by the Congress-led UPA Government at the centre are not reaching the poor man.
“The MGNREGA funds sent to the state are being pocketed by the BSP politicians and ministers. The state government is also not implementing the Janansi Suraksha Yojana (JSY) meant for helping the poor women. In all the Congress-ruled states, large number of women reap benefits of the scheme. But in UP even that policy is being misused by the state government. The funds are diverted to the pockets of the ministers and leaders,” said Rahul Gandhi.
Condemning the poor state of affairs in UP during the last 20 years under successive non-Congress governments, Rahul Gandhi said that three police officials who were investigating the NRHM scam were killed in the state. “For the past 20 years no development took place in UP. Corruption is rampant in the entire state. It is your money that is being wasted. It is your future that is getting affected. During the SP regime criminals were moved freely even inside the police stations. Our effort is to bring a common man’s government. A government that will help the poor, farmers and Dalits,” added the Congress leader.
