Lucknow, June 1 : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that the basic education minister Satish Dwiwedi is involved in alleged misappropriation of funds amounting to Rs 9 crore.
The money was spent in purchasing food and other items for Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) residential schools even as the schools were shut in the panedmic.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh attacked the minister, who was also involved in another controversy over his brother s appointment as assistant professor in Siddhartha Nagar University, and demanded a probe into the scam.
"Boys and girls who have lost their mothers and fathers with at least one parent succumbing to corona will get a sum of Rs 1,500 every month from the state government till they attain the age of 18 years," Nitish Kumar said.
