After Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today accused the Nitish Kumar government of not properly utilising Central funds.

"The Centre has provided crores and crores of rupees to the state under various centrally-sponsored schemes... but it is unfortunate that there are reports of corruption," Gandhi told an election rally here.

Criticising the development claim of Nitish Kumar, she said, "We don't know what happened to the funds the Centre provided to the state" and asked the people as to how many hours they received electricity and what happened to the money earmarked for education and health sectors.

"Students have to go outside the state for better education, opportunity and also for ensuring treatment of diseases," she said.

Gandhi also criticised the Nitish Kumar government for not not utilising the funds allocated by the Centre under the multi-sectoral development scheme for Muslim-dominated areas in Bihar.

Without naming the RJD and NDA, Gandhi said people had seen the successive governments during the past 20 years and their agenda for development.

"Please give us a chance to serve the common people irrespective of caste and religion," she said.
