Lucknow: Powerful IAS officer Pandhari Yadav, who is currently posted in Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister's office, has suddenly become a topic of discussion here. During Bahujan Samaj Party's regime in UP, Yadav was blamed of being involved in Rs 200 crore Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MNREGA) scam. Regarding the issue, Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh had asked Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to order a CBI probe, but he has ordered an EOW (Economic Offences Wing) inquiry on Tuesday. It is a famous saying in UP that if the government wants to throw any matter into garbage, then they order an EOW inquiry. However, this order has raised many unanswered questions that when Pandhari Yadav is placed in the CM's office, then will it be a fresh probe into the big matter or not? And will Akhilesh Yadav remove him from his office for a clean inquiry in the matter? Earlier, during Bahujan Samaj Party regime in Utter Pradesh, Jairam Ramesh had also penned a letter to then CM Mayawati to initiate a CBI probe into the MNREGA scam. But at that time no action was taken.
