Lucknow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most ambitious scheme ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ is falling prey to corruption. A case of 30 thousand crore scam has come to light in Madhya Pradesh. Now a complaint has been made to the Prime Minister’s Office regarding this. It is not that this corruption is limited to Madhya Pradesh only. In the country’s largest state Uttar Pradesh, corruption is also happening in this scheme. This corruption is happening with the connivance of the ‘chief’ bureaucrat of the department and his close officials. The state of corruption is such that many water tanks built in the state have been razed to the ground. This includes water tanks of Sitapur, Kanpur, Lakhimpur and other places. Not only this, the Executive Engineer (XEN) of Jal Nigam Gramin was even murdered for commission, but everything is going right on paper in UP.

In fact, in UP, under the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’, tender processes worth about Rs. 1.75 lakh crore were conducted in the state to provide clean water to people’s homes. The round of allegations and counter-allegations started after the tender process. After this, complaints started coming one after the other. From the village head to many leaders, many complained about the corruption in this scheme to the CM and the PMO, but the complaints were put on the back burner. But now after the collapse of water tanks built under this scheme, once again the discussions of corruption worth crores in ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ have gained momentum. In such a situation, we will make you aware of the corruption happening in this scheme in a systematic manner, how the officers, employees and heads of the department are openly committing corruption together in this ambitious scheme of the Prime Minister….

Water tank collapses in Lakhimpur Kheri
We begin the story of corruption in ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ from Lakhimpur Kheri, where a water tank built at a cost of three and a half crores collapsed. After the collapse of this tank, the local people alleged corruption in the scheme. People said that how did a water tank built with so much money collapse? This water tank was built only a few months ago in Sheikhpur village of Lakhimpur Kheri.

Water tank collapsed in Sitapur
The water tank built under Jal Jeevan Mission Yojana in village Chunka under Saraiya Sitapur development block Pahla could not bear the burden of corruption and collapsed. The tank was constructed at a cost of about five crore 31 lakh rupees. In such a situation, the question arises that how are these water tanks built with so much money falling down? At the same time, the local people are accusing corruption in this.

The Executive Engineer of Rural Water Corporation was murdered.
Honest employees who tried to curb the corruption in this scheme were also murdered. Executive Engineer Santosh Kumar of Rural Water Corporation was brutally murdered in Sultanpur. The murder was committed by AE Amit Kumar along with his partner. Amit along with his partner committed the crime for preparing a report against the agency working in Jal Jeevan Mission and writing a letter to remove it.

Black money reaching jewellers
‘Singh sahab’ is playing an important role in the corruption being done under Jal Jeevan Mission. On the instructions of ‘Singh sahab’, black money is also delivered to many jewellers of the capital Lucknow. Pardafaash News had exposed the deeds of ‘Singh sahab’ earlier also. Singh sahab is the most important link of corruption in Jal Jeevan Mission.

Questions are often raised about the work under Jal Jeevan Mission in UP where a Principal Secretary has been posted for seven years
. Anurag Shrivastava, the Principal Secretary of the department, has also been posted here for a long time. In such a situation, the question arises that why has one person been made the Principal Secretary of the department for such a long time? After all, who is responsible for the corruption happening in the Jal Jeevan Mission in the state?
