Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has written to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati citing a huge scam in MNREGA scheme in the state.

Jairam has cited seven districts spread across UP where central funds have been allegedly misused by the state. These districts are Balrampur, Gonda, Mahoba, Sonbhadra, Sant Kabir Nagar and Mirzapur.
 
The letter talks about the budget for MNREGA scheme in UP to be above Rs 5000 crore.

Jairam has written that if a satisfactory response is not given soon, the government will be forced to relook into the funds being released, though this will have an adverse impact on the poor people in the country.

The letter calls for a CBI probe in the matter and asks for views from the state.

The Mayawati government has not acted against 12 IAS officers who were named as suspects in investigations carried out by the state government itself in MNREGA scam even though it acted against 224 Class II and III officers.

The Central Government had asked the state government in the past too about what steps they were taking against those who have been accused of involvement in the scam.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party MP Rahul Gandhi have in the past accused the UP government of bungling in the MNREGA scam probe.
