Criticizing Mayawati for cheating the dalits and the poor by giving them false promises, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi accused her of failing to fulfill the aspirations of the dalits and poor. She promised to work for dalit; Innocent poor believing it voted for her; but once in power Mayawati forgot them and assumed arrogance towards them, had said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning for the recently held UP Assembly polls. Informing that Congress led central government had sent a number of welfare schemes for the poor and developmental schemes for the state, her government swindled those funds and the poor got nothing, added the Congress MP from Amethi. “Central sponsored MNREGA scheme with Rs 60,000 crores is meant to provide guaranteed employment to the poor, while NRHM scheme with Rs 10,000 crores is meant to provide health care services to the people. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan program is meant to provide free study material to poor children while Mid Day Meal program provides them with wholesome nutritious free meal. But the benefits of these are not reaching the poor and the money is being pocketed by magical elephant (read BSP) in Lucknow”, said Rahul Gandhi. “Mayawati has also shown no interest in controlling atrocities and rape crime against dalit women. She has only been handing out cheques to such victims at public meetings thus adding insult to their injuries”, added Rahul Gandhi. Arguing that Mayawati is only interested in the votes of dalit but not in their welfare, Rahul Gandhi promised that a government of the dalits by Congress (I) will work for their welfare and ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reach them.
