Funds from 'biased' Centre do not reach UP on time: BSP

Claims that the state did not receive Rs 21,000 crore, which it was entitled to

PTI | July 7, 2011



Accusing the Congress-led UPA government of adopting a "step-motherly and non-cooperative attitude" towards Uttar Pradesh, BSP today said delay in sanctioning of funds by the Centre for developmental schemes in the state had made the common man suffer.

"Funds are not sanctioned for the schemes which were approved by the Centre due to step-motherly and biased attitude of the UPA government towards the state," a party spokesman said.

He claimed that in the past four years, the state did not receive Rs 21,000 crore, which it was entitled to, for different developmental projects from the Centre on time.

"Getting money from the Centre is the right of the states as they contribute through taxes," he said, alleging the Congress was misleading people by saying that additional grants were being given to the state.

"The fact is that even the amount for which the state was entitled to, was not released on time," he said, adding that in 2010-11 the state had to receive Rs 5,864 crore from the Centre under various heads.
