Lucknow, May 5 -- Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has alleged that there is large-scale corruption in the procurement of paddy and wheat in U.P. Addressing a press conference in Lucknow on Sunday, Yadav alleged: "Corruption, dishonesty and loot are at their peak in the BJP government. There is huge corruption going on in the purchase of farmers' crops. There is a record of corruption in paddy purchase on paper. Complaints were made from the assembly to many platforms but no action is being taken against the looters." "Along with paddy purchase, there has been large scale scam in peanut purchase in Bundelkhand. Farmers did not get the price of peanut. BJP workers and middlemen made profits. After paddy, peanut, now there is large scale rigging in wheat purchase. Government purchase of wheat is not happening. Farmers' wheat is being purchased for industrialists through middlemen," he further alleged. Also present on this occasion, Leader of Opposition in UP Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey alleged: "There has been a large-scale corruption in paddy procurement in the BJP government. "In Siddharthnagar district, Rs 64 crore was sent to accounts without purchasing paddy and wheat. The people who received most of the money in this are from the BJP. Complaints about this corruption were made to the CM and at other places, but no action has been taken yet." On the issue of giving NOC from the fire department, the SP chief said: "Two people died in a fire in Lucknow. There is corruption in giving fire NOC to industries." He also met members of Chauhan community and felicitated them at party office in Lucknow on Sunday. HTC...
