Uttar Pradesh chief minister and BSP chief Mayawati has alleged that UPA is adopting step-motherly treatment towards the state and that the ‘negative’ attitude of the Centre reeks of conspiracy against her government, said media reports.
Her strong snubbing the Centre comes merely 21 days after her party voted in its favour on cut motions in Lok Sabha,
Speaking to media persons at completion of three years of her government, she said: “Congress-led UPA government’s attitude towards the state has been discriminatory in every sphere but we made improvement in all areas including law and order.
“Had the Centre provided the state’s full share of Rs 17,000 crore timely, the results of these programmes would have been better,” she was quoted as saying.
Mayawati said that this obstructed development works and led to additional burden on the government because of rising prices, reports said.
She regretted that the Centre turned down her demand for a special development package of Rs 80,000 crore, said report.
The chief minister alleged that the Centre’s negative attitude showed that it was a conspiracy both against the BSP-led government and the people of Uttar Pradesh to keep them backward, reports said.
Mayawati, who has been asking the Centre to bear the full expenditure incurred in implementation of schemes under the Right to Education Act, said that the union government should bear the entire expense of the schemes launched by it under the central and concurrent list, said reports.
“The Centre makes schemes after Gandhi and Nehru and forces them on the states,” she was quoted as saying.
