Maya blames Cong for Bundelkhand's poverty, backwardness


Blaming Congress and its general secretary Rahul Gandhi for the poverty and backwardness prevailing in the Bundelkhand, Bahujan Samaj Party president and Chief Minister Mayawati said that had the Centre accepted her government's proposal for special package, the face of this rugged region would have been different.
Addressing election meetings in Banda and Fatehpur on Tuesday, Mayawati said that development of Bundelkhand was the top most priority of the Bahujan Samaj Party government. Mayawati said from the day the BSP government was formed, as a Chief Minister she had been seeking a special package of Rs 80,000 crore, including Rs 11,000 crore for Bundelkhand alone, but the Union government neither approved the package nor did it propose any special plan for development of Bundelkhand.

"Instead, the Congress yuvraj staged drama in different parts of this area. He even staged dharna at Jhansi headquarters or led a group of Congress leaders to PM seeking special package for Bundelkhand. His whole drama was designed to get political mileage. "The Congress has no love for people from this area. Had it been so, the party would had approved the special package asked by our government," she said.

Hitting out at Congress leaders for their claims that Union Government had given money for the development of the region, Mayawati said this was just a lip service because the money centre had released was not enough for so many poor and downtrodden. "This is the reason why people have ignored Congress for 22 long years because they know Congress talks too much but does little for the welfare of the masses," she said.

Mayawati said only BSP has the policy to work for the uplift of sarv samaj. It has proved time and again that only BSP government has the courage to reign in crime and carry out development schemes which could benefit all the sections of the society.

GDA, builders unite to decongest Raj Nagar Extension

GHAZIABAD: Builders in  Raj Nagar Extension  and the Ghaziabad Development Authority  (GDA) have joined hands to put an end to congestion woes in the area. The move would give a breather to the people commuting through the area and builders believe that this will entice more people into buying a property in the area. "To execute the proposed traffic decongestion plan for NH 58 and other roads in Ghaziabad,  GDA  has decided to complete these works in association with Raj Nagar Extension Developers Association," said Gaurav Gupta, spokesperson of the Association. Mr Gupta added, "The authorities propose to restructure of the NH-58 stretch - from Meerut-crossing (near new bus stand) to ALT-cut."  The builder and GDA team will undertake maintenance of the road and close down illegal cuts on the road (used for taking U-tunr) which have been the main reason behind the mess. The project is already underway and is expected to incur a cost of Rs 2 crore.  The...

In Akhilesh reign, Noida-Ghaziabad left powerless and dry

Ghaziabad/Noida: The woes of the people of NCR's Noida and Ghaziabad areas have been compounded, thanks to the twin crises of power cuts and water shortage. Noida residents have complained of a significantly reduced supply of water. In sectors such as 10, 11, 12, 15, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 56 and 71, the problem of reduced hours of supply has emerged over the past ten days. Many other sectors are reportedly receiving saline mixed with 'soft' Ganga water. "Our house is situated on the ninth floor and very little water reaches that level. The entire pressure gets exhausted on the lower floors. It is a big problem for us," Rama Pandey, a resident of a housing society in Noida Sector 62, said. Munna Sharma, president of Noida Sector-71 RWA and former office bearer of the Federation of Noida RWAs (FONRWA), said, "Normally, we are scheduled to get six hours of water supply, three each in the morning and evening, but these days, we are getting water for just thr...

Metro smart cards may soon be used in Delhi buses

The Delhi Metro’s Smart Cards will soon be valid for travel in both the metro trains as well in buses being run in the national capital.  The smart cards would also be integrated with the National Common Mobility Card - More (peacock). The facility would help commuters use all kinds of transport in the city with one single card. The cards would, however, be renamed as ‘Yatri More Cards’ for this purpose. To facilitate its implementation, a series of high-level meetings have since taken place between the Urban Development ministry and Delhi government’s transport department. “It has been decided that the ‘More’ (meaning peacock) cards will be introduced initially in the cluster buses and later in the DTC buses. The art work for designing the ‘More’ cards is already in progress,” said Urban Development Secretary Sudhir Krishna at a press conference here. Krishna said the facility was  likely to be made operational by May and by the end of the year the common mobility card would...
