Rahul Gandhi: Magic elephant of Mayawati eats poor people’s money

While addressing a public rally as part of his campaign for the upcoming UP Assembly elections, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi told that money sent by central government under various welfare and development schemes is not reaching them because “The elephant in Lucknow is eating your money”. “We (Congress-led UPA Government at the centre) send money for the people, but it does not reach to the poor in UP. Instead it is being swindled by corrupt BSP ministers” said Rahul Gandhi. Highlighting that to deflect the issue of non-performance and not undertaking development in the state, he said that Mayawati is putting up an excuse of shortage of funds. But her lie was exposed by the Comptroller and the Auditor General of India report added Rahul Gandhi.  The report said that Mayawati government failed to utilize even 10% of the special package sanctioned by Center for development of Bundelkhand. The CAG report also criticized her for diverting the funds meant for welfare scheme to altogether different schemes, informed Rahul Gandhi . Urging the people to put an end to these sleazy affairs, Rahul Gandhi requested them to give this time a chance to Congress (I) to form government and promised that it will provide good governance and fulfill the expectations of the people.

Mayawati overlooked atrocities on dalits: Rahul Gandhi

Lashing out against Mayawati for failing to check crime against dalits, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that she conveniently overlooked atrocities on dalits.  National Commission for Schedule Caste (NCSC) on certain complaints of assaults against dalits wanted to investigate, said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting as part of his campaign for the upcoming Assembly elections in February 2012.  But her government did not cooperate. Even for periodic review of such cases between the Commission and the state government she declined to allot rooms in the state guest house to the Commission. One such issue is that ‘dalits’ have been allegedly failed by CSM Medical University. This confirms that Mayawati has been more concerned about manipulating the system to suit her needs and did not bother to check the atrocities on ‘dalits’. The worst part of it is that she is not allowing central agencies to investigate atrocities against ‘dalits’ because that will expose the truth, said Rahul Gandhi. Cautioning the people not to trust her anymore, Rahul Gandhi urged the people to give a chance to Congress this time to form a pro-poor government.  He promised that a government of the poor by Congress (I) would work for the welfare of the dalits and poor and ensure justice for them.

Rahul Gandhi narrates instances of loot of JSY funds by Mayawati govt

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.
