Yogi cabinet minister turns rebel over UP govt's functioning, to stage protest

NEW DELHI: Unhappy over functioning of Yogi Adityanath government, Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister Om Prakash Rajbhar will sit on protest from July 4. Rajbhar, minister of the Department of Backward Classes Welfare and the Department of Disabled People Development in Yogi's cabinet, said he will launch a protest against officials of Ghazipur district who are turning a deaf ear to public complaints. Rajbhar said he has informed UP Chief Minister Adityanath and BJP organising secretary for state Sunil Bansal about "uncooperative and corrupt" officials. "I have met Sunil Bansal on June 25 and Yogi Adityanath on June 27. I also had words with the minister in-charge Brijesh Pathak regarding the same," he said. He said those bureaucrats who are not changing their insensitive attitude towards people should be removed from the post. The minister also alleged that a BJP leader is protecting such officers and he will reveal his name soon. "If some members of a family are not listening then we must do something to make them listen," Rajbhar, the president of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, a BJP ally in UP, said. Talking about the District Magistrate of Ghazipur, Rajbhar said he is not listening to the concerns of people. Asked about whether he is getting ignored in the party Rajbhar said it is not him but the public that voted BJP to power is being ignored. According to reports, Rajbhar has also threatened to resign as UP cabinet minister.
