'The authorities assured they would build a hospital as the health standard in our village is below standard. They also promised to set up a school, a community centre and also solve the water crisis in the village... But it seems they have forgotten such plans,' said Sajeevan.

'I have visited officials umpteen times to enquire about the welfare schemes, but they did not give me a satisfactory answer even once.'

Sajeevan said he now plans to meet Chief Minister Mayawati. 'Now, Behenji (Mayawati) is our last hope. She is the only person who can bring changes in our village by getting the welfare schemes executed.'
