Monetary assistance not reaching Bundelkhand: Khurshid

Targeting the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh, Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid today said that monetary assistance is not reaching Bundelkhand due to political problems. "There is a big problem with Bundelkhand. The Central government had a new approach to solving it. But there are political problems due to which though we want to provide funds, they are not reaching the people of the region," Khurshid said while speaking at a leadership summit organised by CNBC TV 18 group here.

Referring to the erection of statues by the ruling BSP in his home state Uttar Pradesh, Khurshid told Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who spoke before him, "you have listed a number of achievements of your government but you cannot match us in the number of elephants." He said there were more elephants in Uttar Pradesh.
