Cong sees ‘political vendetta’ in fresh probe against Punia in graft case


The Congress on Tuesday accused the state government of trying to frame National SC Commission Chairman P L Punia on false charges of corruption by reviving a 22-year-old corruption case against him. The case in question is the alleged corruption in Pradeshiya Industrial and Investment Corporation of UP (PICUP) when Punia was its managing director.
Congress state president Rita Bahuguna Joshi said Punia had been given a clean chit by the investigation agencies in the past and even during previous regime of Mayawati, but now the state government wanted to act against the panel’s chairman out of vendetta.
“The state government is pursuing the case because Punia is highlighting the atrocities against dalits and is exposing state government. Mayawati should remember that Punia holds a constitutional post,” said Joshi.
In 2009 just after Punia won the Lok Sabha election from Barabanki on a Congress ticket, the state government directed the economic offence wing to probe the case again.
