PM hits out the govt. of Uttarakhand over its record in the development schemes
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had today accused the BJP led state Uttarkhand of failing to sincerely implement central schemes and properly using the funds provided to the state government for carrying out the developmental activities.
The Prime Minister at an election rally while kick-starting his campaign for the Congress party from Kumaon region had said that, “If the state government had shown sincere interest in implementation of these programmes, the people of the state would have benefited more,”.
Dr. Singh claimed that the Congress rule in the hill state between 2002-2007 had seen a quick pace of development.“The state saw a robust growth in the field of industrial development. IT parks were set up and new power projects were launched during the Congress rule. But it is a matter of regret that as soon as the BJP government took over, all such developmental activities got blocked,”.
He also said that, “The BJP government failed to utilise the central funds given to the state under schemes meant for welfare of various sections like women, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities…. I have been told that on one hand teachers are sitting on hunger strike for jobs and on the other hand, schools are facing shortage of teachers,”.
