Alleging that the there is "loot" in all health department offices in the state, he said that a thorough inquiry should be conducted in all offices of the Chief Medical Officers.
"Congress has been maintaining from the very beginning that corruption has become institutionalised in Uttar Pradesh and its money trail goes up to the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister is responsible for all this and appears in a defencive postion in this whole episode," Singh said. Without taking names, he alleged that one BSP MP, MLA and MLC was involved in this loot.
