Blaming Mayawati government for non-development in UP, Rahul Gandhi pointed out to the people during his campaign, “The elephant in Lucknow is eating your money.” He was referring to Mayawati government whose party symbol is elephant. Rahul Gandhi said that there was no shortage of funds with the central government. “We send welfare schemes with necessary funds. But the problem is that money does not reach the poor. It is pocketed by ministers”, said Congress (I) leader. Mayawati’s excuse of shortage of funds has been recently exposed by the Comptroller and the Auditor General of India report which highlighted that Mayawati government failed to utilize even 10% of the special package sanctioned by Centre for development of Bundelkhand. The CAG report also criticized her for diverting the funds meant for welfare scheme to altogether different schemes thereby depriving the poor of their due rights. Rahul Gandhi requested the people to vote for Congress (I) which, he promised, will put an end to this wretched state of affairs.
