Corruption trail nears Maya's door, will expose her: Digvijaya

New Delhi: Stepping up his attack on Mayawati’s BSP government in Uttar Pradesh, Congress senior leader Digvijaya Singh today threatened to ’expose’ Maywati and demanded a CBI probe into the Chief medical officer (CMO) murder issue. Digvijay, who led a party delegation from UP including UPCC chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi, briefed the Prime Minister on the developments relating to the CMO and deputy CMO murder cases. “We will expose the Mayawati government. This corruption trail is reaching her door…Mayawati should order a CBI inquiry into the case (CMO murder case). “There have been three murders related to the office of Lucknow Chief Medical Officer. Mayawati has expelled two ministers saying they committed mistakes. But it was never told what those mistakes were,” Digivijaya said after his meeting with the Prime Minister.

He said corruption is at its peak in UP and his party will expose the menace by launching campaigns in every district of the state. The delegation, which included CLP leader Pramod Tewari and INTUC representatives, also requested the Prime Minister to reconsider the Cabinet decision to divest the government’s 95 percent share in Scooters India limited (SIL), which has been incurring loss since 2002. Digvijaya also asked why the UP government is not lodging cases against the two ministers if it is clear that they have committed irregularities. “A scam has also come to fore in Sonbhadra district of the state. In one district, a scam worth Rs 300 crore has been exposed. It was said that both concerned BDOs will be suspended and FIRs will be registered but neither of the two happened,” he claimed. PTI
