UP government has become an inquiry committee: Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow: With nearly half-a-dozen projects launched by former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav under the CBI scanner, the SP has attacked the Adityanath government saying it has reduced itself into an “inquiry committee”.

As the BJP government completes 100 days in the office in the next few days, a SP spokesperson said it was resorting to such tactics to “smokescreen its failures”.

“It smacks of politics of vendetta,” party’s chief spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury said.

It reflects that the state government relies more on Central agencies, like the CBI, than on its own machinery for carrying out any probe, he alleged.

Since taking office on March 19, the state government has recommended CBI probes into several projects of the previous SP regime.

These include alleged irregularities in the functioning of Shia and Sunni Waqf Boards, Akhilesh’s dream project of Gomti riverfront development, mobile creche scheme, and also into the death of IAS officer Anurag Tiwari.
