LUCKNOW, MARCH 31: The Kalyan Singh Government in Uttar Pradesh today received a jolt when a BJP Minister of State holding the Family Welfare portfolio, Devendra Singh Bhola, tendered his resignation, charging the Chief Minister with being ``corrupt'', ``partisan'' and ``influenced by bureaucrats''.Bhola, who announced his resignation on the floor of the Assembly as soon as the House began its session despite the Speaker disallowing him from making a statement, claimed that the Chief Minister was ``functioning under the influence of bureaucrats''.He later told reporters that he quit as he was feeling ``suffocated'' by the Chief Minister's behaviour and said that under no circumstances would he withdraw his resignation.Bhola, who was the State Minister for Family Welfare, accused Singh of being ``corrupt'' and ``partisan'' and guilty of ``misconduct'', but said he would elaborate his allegations only after the Chief Minister reacted to the charges levelled by him.Kalyan Singh, however, refused tomake any comment on Bhola's resignation and said, ``I have nothing to say at the moment.''Following the development, leader of the Congress Legislature Party Pramod Tewari demanded Kalyan Singh's resignation and said the charges levelled by Bhola were of a ``serious nature'' and should be investigated by CBI.
