New Delhi: Hitting out at Mayawati government
in the wake of an FIR against him for alleged financial fraud,
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on Monday accused the state
authorities of providing jobs to over 100 people close to the
chief minister's relatives and partymen in the Greater Noida
Development Authority.
"According to Mayawati, those who are not with her are
corrupt. But I have documentary evidences that over 100 people
close to her, her relatives and partymen were provided with
employment at the Greater Noida Development Authority," he
told reporters here.
He said in the coming days, he would come out with more
cases of corruption against the BSP chief.
Singh alleged that people given appointment letters were
close to her relatives and her confidante Nasimuddin Siddique.
"Most of them have crossed the age limit prescribed. I have
information that they also have forged documents," he said.
Singh said officer in-charge of Babupurva police station
in Kanpur, where the FIR was lodged against him, too was a
corrupt official.
"A CBI court in Lucknow has issued non-bailable warrants
against inspector Dinesh Tiwari for allegedly posing as a CBI
inspector to mount pressure on people to get land deals
settled," he said.
On October 15, one Shiva Kant Tiwari lodged an FIR with
Babupurva police station against Singh and his wife accusing
them of amalgamating companies allegedly owned or run by them
for converting black money into white.
After PM's 'clean chit', who am I to question Raja' "Raja's claim that Dr Manmohan Singh was informed about
the issue (of allocation of 2G spectrum). And (after) the
subsequent certificate given by the Prime Minister to Raja,
who am I to question that," he said.
He was responding when asked about the controversy
surrounding the 2G spectrum allocation, over which CBI has
conducted raids on Telecom offices.
At the same time, Singh said the entire Cabinet has to
take responsibility if there is corruption.
