Chairman of State Prohibition Council, Kuldeep Ujjawal,who enjoyed the rank of a Minister of State, was dismissed by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for abusing officials of Bagpat district.
The SP has nominated him as the party candidate from the Bagpat Assembly seat and now the decision is likely to be reversedby the party.
Earlier this week, Ujjwal during a telephonic conversation had threatened District Panchyatraj Officer of Bagpat for his refusal to appoint two persons named by him as Panchyat Secretary and the transfer of two officials of the Panchyatyraj department. He also abused the District Magistrate and Chief Development Officer and had threatened them of dire consequences.
Ujjwal had threatened that he would visit the office of the DM on Monday and show the officials their worth. He had also accused the DM of aiding and abetting illegal mining along the Yamuna riverbed.
The conversation was recorded by the Panchyatraj Officer and the audio clip went viral on the social =media elciting an outcry.
Taking serious note of the misconduct by the abrasive SP leader, the CM ordered his dismissal from the post of Chairman of State Prohibition Council.
