BJP MLA rues officials not paying heed to him

BJP MLA Nand Kumar Gurjar claimed on Wednesday that officials are openly charging commission and not paying any heed to him in his constituency of Loni in Ghaziabad.

The BJP MLA, who had on Tuesday tried to raise the issue of official apathy and found support from both the Opposition and ruling party MLAs in the Legislative Assembly, said "cases are lodged against" him when he raises such issues.

"How will the dream of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath become a reality under such a situation? I am very disturbed," he said in the state Assembly on Wednesday.

"The officials had never dared to arrest me during the government of other political parties as they have done this time. An impartial inquiry needs to be ordered into this issue. I am a disciplined worker of the BJP," Gurjar said.

"There are only 2 to 3 per cent officials who are honest. An inquiry needs to be done into their properties. How are NGOs being run in the names of their wives," he asked, amid thumping of desks by both ruling and opposition members with shouts of "shame-shame."
