Taking a dig at Mayawati for claiming to be working for dalits, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said she deprived dalits of MNREGA benefits which Congress (I)-led UPA government sent for their welfare. She grabbed the votes of dalits to come Chief Minister but once in power she shut the door upon them, said Rahul Gandhi while campaigning for the upcoming Assembly elections. Keeping in view the alarming situation of unemployment in the state, center sent MNREGA scheme for providing guaranteed employment to the poor. Massive amount of Rs 60,000 crores was released, said Rahul Gandhi adding that MNREGA is a flagship program of Congress (I)-led UPA government. It provides guaranteed minimum 100 days employment @ Rs 120 per day to the poor, thus putting 120 x 100 = Rs 12,000 in the pocket of the poor. It gives employment, income and respectable social status to the poor, he added. But she stole the money and the poor did not get anything. Highlighting that this scheme is a tremendous success in Congress (I) ruled states like Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi said Mayawati enriched herself at the cost of the dalits.
