Governor has also attached copy of all the special reports and their status. Out of these reports, some of the significant ones on which state government was yet to submit explanation include one against former sports minister of state and BSP leader Ayodhya Prasad Pal who is accused of land grab. The report was submitted by Lokayukta on September 12 last year and Governor had sought explanation eight days later.

Another report on complaint of corruption against former Animal Husbandary minister Awadh Pal Singh Yadav is also pending. The special report was submitted to the Governor on August 2 last year and Governor had sought explanation on August 12.

The list also includes complaint made by state government against former ministers Naseemuddin Siddiqui and Babu Singh Kushwaha, 12 former MLAs, five general managers of Rajkiya Nirman Nigam, former director of mining department, 43 project directors, 35 accountants and assistant accountants as well as 60 firms supplying sand stones. The complaint was filed in 2012 after SP government came to power alleging corruption in the construction of park and other monuments as well as in supply of sand stones for the construction in Lucknow as well as NOIDA.
