No discrimination against Rae Bareli, claims Mulayam

Filed under:

CHIEF MINISTER Mulayam Singh Yadav today focused on speedy development of Etawah, Mainpuri, Auraiya and Agra and announced several schemes for development involving an expenditure of over Rs 94 crore. He also dedicated to people a number of completed works including the Kachaura Ghat bridge over the Yamuna.

Addressing a series of public meetings in western UP, the chief minister asserted that there would be no paucity of funds for development of Kanpur division. He lambasted those who were trying to defame him by raising the bogey of step-motherly treatment to Rae Bareli. He said that a package of over Rs 1100 crore had been given to Rae Bareli for development, which was much more than that of the amount sanctioned for Etawah, Mainpuri, Badaun and Agra.
