NREGA fraud: Jairam's letter to Mayawati

Accusing Mayawati Government of not taking adequate action against those allegedly involved in embezzling Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) funds, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has dared the UP Chief Minister to recommend a CBI probe into its implementation if she had nothing to hide.

Ramesh said he was looking forward to hearing from Mayawati and her "concurrence for an urgent CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) probe" into the implementation of MGNREGRA in Balrampur, Gonda, Mahoba, Sonbhadra, Sant Kabir Nagar, Mirzapur and Kushinagar districts.
