One more minister under U.P Lokayukta scanner, Congress alleges corruption


Blaming UP government for all round corruption, Congress (I) has highlighted that yet another senior mot cabinet minister in Mayawati’s government has come under scanner of UP Lokayukta. This time it is Naseemuddin Siddiqui, the most powerful minister in the Mayawati government who is heading over a dozen important departments, including agriculture, irrigation, housing and PWD.  Already a number of ministers and legislators in Mayawati government have been indicted by Lokayukta for corruption charges, misuse of official position and grabbing of government and gram panchayat lands. In the past Chief Minister Mayawati has dropped a number of indicted ministers and legislators.  But new cases keep coming confirming that Mayawati government is neck deep in corruption. In the present it is alleged that at the time of filing nomination for election as an MLC earlier this year, the minister’s wife had deliberately omitted mention of several properties in the affidavit filed along with the nomination. This points to possession of disproportionate possession of assets by the Minister’s family, said Congress (I).
