Rajbhar attacks Akhilesh Yadav’s JPNIC cost hike and corruption claims

Rajbhar also criticised former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, alleging that the JPNIC project originally estimated at ₹200 crore ballooned to ₹800 crore under Yadav’s watch. He questioned the whereabouts of the extra funds and noted that the CBI has registered an FIR that also mentions Yadav’s name. The minister added that the period of Yadav’s rule saw a surge in communal riots, gang activities and criminality.
