Controversial AI MoU Worth ₹25,000 Crore Questioned in Uttar Pradesh Council

During the same session, SP member Ashutosh Sinha brought up a memorandum of understanding signed between the state government and an artificial‑intelligence firm for a sum of ₹25,000 crore. He questioned the eligibility and transparency of the deal. The Industrial Development Minister's reply failed to satisfy the opposition, prompting Council Chairman Kunwar Manvendra Singh to order a probe into the MoU's legitimacy.

The issue added to the growing perception among opposition members that the government is entering high‑value contracts without adequate scrutiny.
