Lucknow : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati of presiding over 100 scams entailing Rs.2,54,000 crore (Rs.2.54 trillion) and said it would submit a detailed charge-sheet.
A report titled “100 scams of Mayawati government-FIR (First Information Report)” was released by party secretary Kirit Somaiya here.
“As per our evaluation, the scams are worth around Rs.2,54,000 crore. Very soon we would be coming with a detailed and separate report on each scam that has been listed by us,” Somaiya said at a press conference.
On the basis of the report, a chargesheet would be prepared by the BJP and handed over to the president, the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Chief Vigilance Commissioner June 12, he added.
“Of all the scams, the major ones are related to land acquisition, particularly in NCR (National Capital Region), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, pension schemes and selling of sugar mills,” Somaiya added.
BJP officials said that if needed, they may move court on the basis of the report prepared by them for initiating action against Mayawati.
The BJP also demanded that Mayawati government must come on record regarding its deal with the Jai Prakash Group and businessman Ponty Chadha.
“We want that the state government should detail the nature of deals it had with JP Group, in terms of urban development projects, and Ponty Chadha, in terms of selling of sugar mills,” said party state president Surya Pratap Shahi.
“If the government fails to do so, we would be unmasking the government before the public,” he added.
