Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Kumar Lallu once again targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on his much-hyped claim of ‘zero tolerance’ towards corruption after a letter written to the CM Office by Noida district police chief found its way to the media.
Alleging large-scale corruption in UP Police and other departments, Lallu demanded a judicial inquiry into the functioning of all government departments of the state.
Citing the 5-page report of Noida’s Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Krishna that contain serious graft allegations among the ranks of UP Police, Lallu said that it spoke volumes about the rampant corruption and bribery prevailing in the department.
The Congress leader said that an impartial inquiry into the case would expose some big names and bring out the reality of the Bharatiya Janata Party government in UP.
“The entire state is plagued by corruption and bribery. Complaints in this regard are received on a daily basis. Hence a judicial inquiry be conducted into the working of all government departments so as to rid the people of these problems,” Lallu said in a statement issued in Lucknow.
The SSP’s report, which found its way to the media, also contained details of alleged corruption during investigation into a case in which four people were arrested in Noida on August 23, 2019.
