Mayawati govt. did not protect interests of poor women: Congress (I)


Launching scathing attack on UP Chief Minister for large scale financial irregularities in central sponsored NRHM scheme leading to murder of three government doctors  dealing with the funds, Congress (I) has said Mayawati government failed to protect even the interests of poor women for whom Center has sent a number of social welfare and health care schemes.  Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) (Safe Motherhood Delivery) is one such scheme under National Rural Health Mission. The scheme is meant to encourage institutional delivery of pregnant women for which Rs 1400 are given to each woman as incentive. But even in this scheme there was scam of Rs 28 crore. For instance in one case a women is shown to have delivered twice in five months. But on scrutiny it was found that the second delivery was bogus. Most bizarre case came to notice in Allahabad district where 619 unmarried girls were shown to have delivered and amount was fraudulently claimed in their names.
