ApnaBundelkhand.com, New Delhi: Seeking to capitalise on the
latest central package for Bundelkhand, Congress is planning
to hold a rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh in the drought-hit region to drive home the message that
it cares for the backward area.
A senior Congress leader said
that moves are afoot to
organise a visit of the Prime Minister to Bundelkhand soon.
The Union Budget 2010-11 unveiled last week has found a
special mention for the region and Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee has made a separate allocation of Rs 1,200 crore for
Bundelkhand, which spreads over 13 districts of Uttar Pradesh
and Madhya Pradesh.
In November last year, the government had
announced a
special package of Rs 7,266 crore for implementation of
drought mitigation strategy and integrated development of the
Bundelkhand region.
