Rampur: Alleging huge embezzlement of
funds in implementation of MGNREGA scheme in Uttar Pradesh,
Union Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal on Sunday dared Chief Minister
Mayawati to recommend a CBI probe into the issue.
"MGNREGA's implementation in UP is the biggest scam of
the country," he told a 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' at Khauvt
village in the district.
Underscoring Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh's
accusations against the Mayawati government of not taking
adequate action against those involved in embezzling MGNREGA
funds, Jaiswal asked her to order a CBI inquiry into the
matter.
The Union Coal Minister also attacked BJP leader LK
Advani and said his 'Jan Chetna Yatra' was a "fraud" and "an
attempt to copy Rahul Gandhi's yatras" in rural areas.
