Jairam Ramesh Dares Mayawati To Refer MGNREGA Issue To CBI

India TV News  

New Delhi, Oct 25: Accusing Mayawati Government of not taking adequate action against those allegedly involved in embezzling MGNREGA funds, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has dared the UP Chief Minister to recommend a CBI probe into its implementation if she had nothing to hide. In a hard-hitting letter to the Chief Minister of the poll-bound state, Ramesh alleged that the Mayawati Government “has not been taking any worthwhile action” on the findings and recommendations of National Level Monitors appointed by his Ministry and State Quality Monitor in relation to implementation of MGNREGA. “.If the state government has nothing to hide and has a clear conscience, it should have no objection to our request to have a thorough CBI inquiry conducted into MGNREGA implementation in some districts of the state based on the findings the NLMs and SQMs and the various media reports that have appeared,” the Minister said. Ramesh said he was looking forward to hearing from Mayawati and her “concurrence for an urgent CBI probe” into the implementation of MGNREGRA in Balrampur, Gonda, Mahoba, Sonbhadra, Sant Kabir Nagar, Mirzapur and Kushinagar districts. Coming down heavily on the Mayawati Government, Ramesh alleged that the signal that has gone out by the “state government's continuing inaction is clear—make money openly, flout all rules and procedures bluntly and nothing will happen to you if you have the patronage of the ruling establishment.” The Minister said that his Ministry has the option of stopping funds to Uttar Pradesh, either wholly or partially, for MGNREGA till “credible action” has been taken by the state government on the reports submitted by the NLMs and SQMs.
