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. For instance in one case in Sitapur, 60-year-old Noor Jahan, wife of Kallu Khan, resident of Shivthan village of Mishrikh block, is shown as 21-year-old woman who delivered a baby on August 13, 2010. Noor Jahan had actually delivered a baby 17 years back. 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.
