HT Correspondent , Hindustan Times
Lucknow, October 09, 2011
UP chief minister Mayawati on Sunday launched development schemes
worth Rs 6,035 crore on the occasion of her mentor Kanshi Ram's death
anniversary, even as preparations for assembly elections, due early
next year, are on.
The stress of the projects was largely on the amelioration of
the conditions of the Dalits - the CM's support base.
The state government, run by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), founded by
Kanshi Ram, in a statement said the chief minister had launched
various projects including welfare schemes for the poor and Dalits in
memory of the late leader.
Apart from the Kanshi Ram memorial, the government has also
constructed the Kanshi Ram eco-garden.
Mayawati, who visited the Kanshi Ram memorial, laid the foundation
stones of 484 projects including roads, bridges, drinking water
schemes and power plants in the state.
An integrated development project for Dalits bastis (slums) in the
state has also been launched.
A large number of party workers from all the assembly segments in
Lucknow and adjoining areas had assembled to participate in the
function. Buddhist monks offered prayers at the memorial.
The chief minister also visited the Prerana Sthal, where the ashes of
Kanshi Ram, who died in 2006, are kept.
Reacting to the announcement, Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee
spokesman Subodh Srivastav said, "These announcements are political
gimmicks."
