Congress president Sonia Gandhi attacked Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh, alleging funds provided by the Centre for welfare schemes were looted by the corrupt establishment in the State.
Addressing a rally here, she claimed the benefits of the Centre’s schemes like National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and MNREGA were not visible in MP because the State machinery had not let the funds reach the common people.
Sonia further said that to provide medicines, healthcare to people in the villages, the UPA government had created NRHM. But if such schemes had benefitted any one in Madhya Pradesh, it was only the corrupt ministers and officials of BJP government, she charged.
She said that in the last few days there had been newsreports that in Madhya Pradesh, three directors of the National Rural Health Mission were raided by the Income Tax department and hundreds of crores were of rupees recovered from their homes.
