The BJP today alleged that illegal mining was its peak in Uttar Pradesh under the patronage of state Mining minister Gayatri Prajapati.
"Several allegations have been levelled against Prajapati after Samajwadi Party (SP) formed the government, but as he is favourite of party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav no action was taken against him," BJP spokesman Chandramohan alleged.
Chandramohan alleged that illegal mining was at its peak in the state under patronisation of Prajapati
Demanding the SP supremo to clear his position on Prajapati, the spokesman said that Yadav teaches lesson of morality to the ministers, but he himself openly patronises the Mining minister.
