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 Mayawati government there were glaring cases where these funds were looted instead of given to beneficiary women. In one case Ameerun Nisha, resident of Bargadhai village, Inhauna block of district Shravasti, delivered a baby twice in 15 days. Rs 2,000 was drawn in her name first on January 18, 2011 and then again on January 31, 2011. 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.
