Bundelkhand needs development not a seprate state:Rahul Gandhi
ApnaBundelkhand.com, New delhi:Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi today said he does not support the issue of a separate Bundelkhand.
''I don't
support the issue of a separate Bundelkhand, but the fact remains that
the region spread across Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh is badly
managed and its people require immense support, he told the media here.
He said that despite the Centre hiking the quantum of monetary
assistance for Bundelkhand's development six fold, there were
complaints received that the amount was not fully utilised or the money
did not reach the people of the region.
Mr Gandhi said
his close encounter with the problems of the region spreading across
two states had made him understand the issues better. ''Poverty and
unemployment are throwing up the challenge of mass migration from
Bundelkhand. Madhya Pradesh has received Rs 6,000 crore for Bundelkhand.
This was six
times the amount sanctioned earlier for the region,'' he said.
Bundelkhand is an immensely backward region. The Centre is making all
efforts to bring sccour to the people of the region, he added.
