Holding Mayawati responsible for the plight of women in the state, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has blamed her for failing to protect the interests of poor women. Congress (I)-led UPA government at the centre has sent a number of social welfare and medicare schemes for women, Rahul Gandhi said while campaigning for the ongoing Assembly elections. Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is one such scheme under National Rural Health Mission. The scheme is meant to encourage institutional delivery of pregnant women for which Rs 1400 in cash are given to each woman as incentive. But even in this scheme there is scam of Rs 28 crore. To loot money women were shown to have delivered twice in five months. But on scrutiny it was found second delivery was bogus. Highlighting that Mayawati was only interested in money making than in the welfare matters Rahul Gandhi said it is a time to get rid of her rule. He appealed the people to vote for Congress (I) and assured that his party would ensure welfare of the women and work for their empowerment.
