Nitish weakening vigilance dept as he is no more interested in anti-corruption drive: SuMo

 

Patna,(BiharTimes): Accusing chief minister Nitish Kumar of deliberately weakening the vigilance department senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday questioned as to why the Grand Alliance had not included anti-corruption drive in its Seven Resolves.


Talking to the media he said that ever since Nitish had joined hands with the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congerss he had stopped speaking on corruption. He asked as to how many properties of corrupt public servants confiscated by the state government in the last three years and schools opened in those premises?


Mind it the Janata Dal (United)-BJP alliance collapsed three years ago on June 16, 2013.


SuMo also asked as to how many tainted government servants had been put behind bars on graft charge and booked in cases for amassing disproportionate assets dismissed from service?


Charging the state government with deliberately making the vigilance and other anti-corruption agencies toothless bodies the former deputy CM said the trap cases in anti-corruption drive, which stood at 73 in 2011 has come down to 35-40 in subsequent years.


To substantiate his points further he said that the posts of judges in designated vigilance courts at Patna and Muzaffarpur are lying vacant for the past two years, while there are no judges in seven out of 10 courts to hear matter related to trap cases.


The post of Inspector General of Police (IG) in the vigilance department is also vacant. In the same way several posts of the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in the vigilance department are vacant.
