Criticising Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for creating hurdles in the formation of the proposed Bundelkhand Development Authority(BDA), Union Minister of State for Panchayat and Rural Development, Pradeep Jain has said Congress is not doing any politics on the issue.
"The Chief Ministers of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are creating hurdles in the creation of proposed Bundelkhand Development Authority," Jain said addressing a meeting of the Congress workers in Tikamgarh on Saturday.
Jain said that in order to ensure development of the backward region, the government is thinking on the move to form the development authority which has jurisdiction over number of districts of both Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
He denied allegations of both Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mayawati and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan that centre is doing politics on the issue.
