New Delhi, Nov 17: Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has written a fresh letter to UP Chief Minister Mayawati over alleged irregularities in implementation of MNREGA in seven districts and demanded a CBI probe into it.
In a 14-page letter to Mayawati, Ramesh cited the instances of alleged irregularities and corruption in implementation of the scheme in Balrampur, Gonda, Mahoba, Sonbhadra, Kushinagar, Mirzapur and Sant Kabir Nagar.
Lamenting that there has been no action against the guilty, Ramesh said, “If the state government wants to act honestly and send a message to the people that it does not in anyway want to save those who have looted funds from the schemes, then I feel that you should ask for a CBI probe in these districts.”
The letter was written on November 14, a day when the Congress launched its campaign in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh. This is the second letter Ramesh has written to Mayawati on the issue.
