Mayawati is ''wasting public money'': SP

Jaunpur, Apr 27: The Samajwadi Party (SP) today charged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati with misusing her powers and spending public money on parks and monuments.

Talking to mediapersons, senior SP leader and leader of opposition in Legislative Council Ahmad Hassan said, price-hike in essential commodities has posed hardships for people. However, the UP CM has been investing crores on Ambedkar park.

He alleged Ms Mayawati has been working under political vendetta and had framed about 11,000 SP leaders in fake cases.

Making scathimg attack on the BSP government, Mr Hassan said 'unemployment allowance' and 'Kanya Vidya Dhan' schemes were launched during the previous Mulayam Singh Yadav regime. However, the present government aborted all such promoting schemes, besides sacking over 18,000 police constables inducted during SP regime.

No new appointments were being made and only back-log cleared in the present regime, he added.
