Lucknow: Union minister Kapil Sibal on Friday ridiculed Uttar Pradesh
Chief Minister Mayawati for "remaining ignorant" of corruption by her
ministers for full five years and coming to know about it only at
election time.
"It is surprising that when the entire country was aware of corruption
in her government, she remained ignorant during her full five-year
term and today when elections have been announced she has come to know
of it," he told reporters here.
The HRD Minister said the rate at which he has removed 12 ministers,
by the time elections are held all the remaining ones might also be
sacked on corruption charges and Mayawati might find herself alone in
the ministry.
Sibal was here on way to Gorakhpur to participate in a programme but
could not proceed due to bad weather.
Terming the BSP government as the most tainted, he said corruption has
been made an election issue by the people who had been at the
receiving end during the past 20 years by every political permutation
and combination in Uttar Pradesh.
The state has got one corrupt government after the other in these 20
years, he said adding people of the state are tired of these parties
and have made up their minds to repose faith in the Congress.
Attacking the Chief Minister, Sibal alleged that one-third of the
state's budget has been spent by her on statues while Rs 12 crore has
been spent on her own residence.
Though funds were required in drought-prone Bundelkhand region, the
money was spent on her statues, he alleged.
