Terming the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in UP as ‘National Rakam Hadpo Mission (national funds embezzlement mission)’, opposition parties in the UP Assembly on Monday slammed the BSP government for patronising a scandal which deprived the poor of bare minimum health facilities in rural areas.
The Opposition alleged that top political functionaries of the BSP government and senior officials of the Chief Minister’s secretariat were involved in the scam as a scandal of this scale was not possible without sanction from the top.
Demanding Chief Minister Mayawati’s resignation on moral grounds, the opposition said the state government should recommend a CBI probe into the implementation of NRHM in all 72 districts, without waiting for an order from the Allahabad High Court.
All opposition parties, including the SP, BJP Congress and RLD, later staged a walk-out, dissatisfied with the government reply.
