The AICC chief targeted her attack on scamsters and looters, who she said had denied people in UP gains from central funds and schemes. In her 20-minute address at the Exhibition Ground here, she said the Centre was giving huge amounts for development under various schemes, but because of "luterey aur ghotale" (looters and scamsters ) people had not benefited.
