RTI_AYUSH_UP

The Uttar Pradesh Committee (UPCC) has refused to pay for the state health department's information in response to an RTI application moved by Rita Bahuguna Joshi on behalf of Rahul Gandhi on April 27.

The state department has informed UP Congress chief Bahuguna that the information she sought regarding the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) runs into several lakh pages and she was expected to pay Rs 2 per page.

"The state wants me to pay Rs 25 lakh for the information from all 71 districts of UP. I have not earned this much in my life and so cannot pay such a huge amount. So I had requested the state government to provided information in the digital form. I will move an application before the state information commissioner ," she said on Sunday.

She alleged that it was a tactic to delay the information. "CM Mayawati knows that she will be exposed if the information is made public," she added. UPCC spokesman said: "The details from each district are available in less than 50 pages. The government can compile everything from 71 districts in 3,550 pages for which we need to pay only Rs 7,100."

Lucknow: 28.04.2011 INDIAN EXPRESS

In a surprise move, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday visited the family of murdered Lucknow chief medical officer B P Singh and the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) office.

At the office, state Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi, who accompanied him, filed RTI applications seeking information on implementation of NRHM and the Janani Suraksha Yojna for the last five years.

After submitting the applications, Rahul told mediapersons, “I have come here to file an RTI application with Ritaji. There is gross misappropriation of NRHM funds here, that is why we have asked many questions in our application like where funds are going, how are they are being utilised.”

Rahul assured Singh’s family that he would pursue their demand for a CBI inquiry into the murder.

Singh was shot dead on April 2. His predecessor Vinod Arya was killed in similar manner six months before. Both crimes remain unsolved and there are allegations of involvement of politically influential criminals who control the business of tenders and supplies in the Departments of Health and Family Welfare.

The government had admitted that the investigation had uncovered several instances of financial frauds in implementation of NRHM and that these were linked with the two murders.

Rahul arrived here from his constituency Amethi on the way to Delhi. The visit was a surprise not only for the government and officials, but also for Congressmen.

From the NRHM office, they drove to Singh’s residence in Vikrant Khand in Gomti Nagar and met Singh’s widow Sarla Singh.
