Mayawati govt shielding bureaucrats and politicians: SP

Alleging that the Uttar Pradesh government was deliberately not ordering a CBI probe into the murder of Chief Medical Officer B P Singh,the Samajwadi Party on Tuesday dubbed it as an attempt to shield the nexus among bureaucrats,politicians and contractors involved in the killing.

“Despite demand of a CBI probe from all quarters,the state government did not agree to it,” SP spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury told reporters here.

He said that in the previous SP regime the medical and health department used to execute World Bank schemes,but later a new post of CMO (Family Welfare) was created in the Mayawati regime and financial powers were given to the officer. “This was done to usurp crores of rupees coming under various heads. It should be probed who was behind creation of this post,” Chowdhury said.
