All the BJP legislators, MPs and some Union ministers are expected to participate in the demonstration, Union Minister of State for Tourism and Culture Mahesh Sharma said in Noida on Tuesday. He said the party will take up all corruption issues of the UP government. “Yadav Singh case is a classical case where the previous BSP government and present Samajwadi Party government have given protection,” Sharma said. BJP leader said the Akhilesh Yadav government was afraid of disclosure of the nexus between the government and the said officer, hence it was avoiding CBI probe.

She said the leaders would reach in procession from Sector 12 to the Noida authority office on the day.
