Blaming Mayawati for running most corrupt government by following anti-people policies, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said her government siphoned off funds sent by central government for development schemes. Bundelkhand region has been reeling under drought, hunger and unemployment for several years, said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning for the upcoming Assembly elections. A special package of Rs 8,000 crores was sanctioned by Congress (I)-led UPA government for integrated development of the region. The poor have not been given guaranteed employment under MNREGA scheme. In many areas BPL cards have not yet been issued to them. Those who have got them have not been given job cards. She never visited drought hit Bundelkhand to know the problems of the poor, said Rahul Gandhi. As a result only 8 to 9% of the funds were utilized by her government, he further said adding that there is no dearth of funds with central government for development schemes. But the problem is that the money is not reaching the poor people for whose development it is sent. Highlighting that she is more interested in money for herself than for the poor, Rahul Gandhi said if Congress (I) is voted to power this time it will ensure their welfare and development of the Bundelkhand region.
