New Delhi: With a key accused in NRHM scam
allegedly committing suicide in Uttar Pradesh, BJP today
targeted Congress wondering whether the CBI was deliberatly
not catching the "major political players" in the case at the
behest of the ruling party at the Centre.
"Who is protecting the big accused (in the scam). Why CBI
has not taken any action against major political players.
Congress has supported BSP and SP in the state to run
governments. Is it on Delhi's directions that main accused are
being protected," BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad
told reporters here.
To a question on allegations against former UP minister
Babu Singh Kushwaha, he said action should be taken against
him if he is guilty.
"But don't target one and leave the rest... his house was
raided the very next day when he decided to join BJP," he
said.
Sunil Verma, project manager in the Construction and
Design Division of Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam, who was under CBI
scanner in connection with the multi-crore?National Rrural
Health Mission scam, allegedly shot himself dead at his
residence in Lucknow this morning.
