Lashing out against Mayawati for running most corrupt government, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said she swindled even poor women’s money. Under Janani Surksha Yojana (JSY) financial incentive of Rs 1,400 is provided to pregnant women of BPL category for having an institutional delivery. But due to rampant corrupt in her government there were glaring cases where these funds were looted instead of given to beneficiary women. In one case Jyoti, wife of Chetram, resident of Jamunahi village in Ikauna block of Shravasti, delivered a baby on February 22, 2011. Three ASHA workers, namely Ram Kumari, Madhvi and Preeti Singh, claimed Rs 2,000 each for the delivery while only one ASHA workers if entitled to payment. This shows the extent of corruption in Mayawati’s government and her neglect for welfare of the poor women. Urging the people to bring an end to this sordid situation, Rahul Gandhi appealed them to give this time a chance to his party to form government and promised that Congress (I) would ensure that the benefits of the welfare schemes reach the poor men and women.
