Maya, Mulayam have lost will to fight for poor: Rahul at UP rally

November 14, 2011 14:33

At Phulpur, UP, Rahul continues his tirade against Mayawati. Says the poor -- farmers, weavers, women -- are suffering under the UP government. The PM gave a Rs 3000 crore relief to weavers, but it hasn't reached them.

Central funds are not being used properly and corruption is rampant in the state. The benefits of MNREGA are not reaching the poor in the UP and says that though the Centre has sent aid in crores to UP, it has not been passed on to the poor since the government did not bother to spend the money. Corruption in health, police departments is huge, says Rahul.

He says both Mayawati and Mulayam Singh have lost their will to fight for the poor, they are only after power.
