People Should Ask Mayawati about Funds Utilisation: Sonia

Congress President has asked people to seek an account from Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati on the use of the funds provided by the Centre for development, said media reports quoting party official.

Sonia today began her three-day trip of her constituency Rae Bareli and made the statement.

“Soniaji said the people should come forward to know about the utilisation of funds being released by the centre for various developmental and public-welfare schemes,” party spokesperson in the state Akhilesh Pratap Singh was quoted as saying while talking to reporters in Lucknow.

“Soniaji believes that once people start seeking an account of the developmental funds from the state government, they would themselves realise how the state government is misusing the central government’s funds that are meant for an all-round development of the state,” he was quoted as saying.

Sonia arrived at Rae Bareli around 11 am and inaugurated the new building of a Sub Post Office in Saraini town and held a small public meeting.

During her three-day tour, Gandhi will meet party activists and could make surprise inspections in several villages to see how central government-funded developmental projects were doing, reports said quoting party officials.
