The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet today decided to return the land for the project at Lalganj town.

New Delhi, Oct. 15 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Wednesday described Congress president Sonia Gandhi''s challenge that she was ready to go to jail if not allowed into her constituency Rae Bareli as political drama.

Criticising the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) for their step-motherly treatment of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati denied that she was playing politics through her decision to cancel the allotment of land for building a Railway Coach Factory that was to be inaugurated by Gandhi on Tuesday.

Irked by Sonia Gandhi’s remarks, Mayawati termed her allegations as baseless.

Sonia Gandhi's dream railway project for her constituency was derailed by Mayawati just two days before Sonia accompanied by Railway Minister Lalu Yadav was to perform the ‘bhoomi pujan’ ceremony of the factory, on Tuesday, October 14.

The BSP government in Lucknow cancelled its order for allotment of 189.25 hectares of gram sabha land for the erection of a rail coach factory at Lalganj in Sonia Gandhi's parliamentary constituency, Rae Bareli.
