Jairam Ramesh takes on Mayawati over NREGS
Bhupendra ChaubeyBhupendra Chaubey, CNN-IBN
New Delhi: It's Mayawati vs Rahul Gandhi's key lieutenant Jairam
Ramesh. With the countdown for UP elections beginning, UPA is on an
overdrive to provide ample ammunition for its own campaign against
Mayawati.
First shot fired through this letter addressed directly to UP Chief
Minister Mayawati threatening a CBI probe in irregularities committed
in National Rural Employment guarantee scheme.
Signal has gone out by state government's continuing inaction - make
money openly, flout all rules and procedures blatantly and nothing
will happen to you if you have the patronage of the ruling
establishment in the state. You should have no objection to our
request of a thorough CBI inquiry conducted into NREGA implementation
in some districts of the state
"UP Chief Minister may have managed to build these monuments of dalit
icons by spending thousands of crores. But she just can't manage to
escape criticism of not spending enough in key areas. Whether its
health care or the NREGA scheme. Whats worse for her is that her own
state's reports in the 7 districts that Jairam Ramesh talks about in
this letter, have pointed out to involvement of several senior
officers in UP in the scam. None of whom have been punished," Ramesh
said.
IAS officers Sachidanand Dubey, Hridesh Kumar Joshi and RK Singh were
found guilty by state's own probe. No police action has been initiated
against them. On the contrary they have all been given prime postings.
Congress leader Rashid Alvi says, "It's not just this scheme, there is
corruption all over."
In the coming days, this is one battle which is bound to escalate further.
