Kejriwal says Rahul failed to utilise MP funds

Amethi: Contesting Priyanka Gandhi's claim that her brother Rahul had done a lot of development in his Lok Sabha constituency Amethi, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said she was unaware that the Congress vice-president had failed to spend the MPLAD fund in the area.

Addressing an election rally in support of party nominee Kumar Vishwas at Aurangabad village here, Kejriwal said Priyanka has been publicising that Rahul brought development in the constituency which is contrary to the reality. In reality Rahul has not spent his fund, he alleged and asked the Congress star campaigner to reply on this. Alleging that Congress was claiming that Rs 55,000 crore was spent on the development of Amethi, he said one could hardly see its impact on the ground. "Was the entire budget usurped by middlemen? Rahul Gandhi must give an account before the people," he said. So far, Gandhi surname was enough to make someone eligible for the PM post, but this would not happen anymore as the common man has become aware, Kejriwal said.
