A video of Yogesh Verma, a BJP MP from Sadar constituency in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral on social media. In this photo, the BJP MLA complains to the SDM about the law enforcers in the middle of the road to the collection committee. MLA Yogesh Verma told SDM that retired teacher and RSS block leader Vishweshwar Dayal took a bribe of Rs 5,000 for surveying the land and he should return the money.
It is learned that the Sanghchalak block of Nakaha block in Vishweshwar Dayal area has been visiting officials to measure his land for the past six years. For this, he also paid a bribe of Rs 5,000 to local law enforcement officer Laxman Yadav. Kanongo built a dike on it, but days later, after a meeting with the opposition, it was breached again.
Vishweshwar Dayal complained about the matter to BJP MP Yogesh Verma, after which the MPs called the SDM but no one listened to him. Furious over this, MLA Yogesh Verma yesterday took the victim Vishweshwar Dayal to the Collectorate on a motorcycle and started demanding Sadar Tehsil SDM Ashwani Singh to return the Rs 5,000 bribe taken by the law enforcers.
A BJP lawmaker on a motorcycle said he would protest if corruption was not stopped. Vishweshwar Dayal ji is our mentor, retired teacher and currently Sanghchalak of Nakaha department. The land surveying issue has remained unresolved for six years. Even after I called, the slack remained. Family disputes should be resolved and not complicated. The chief minister gave clear instructions that officials should not resort to hawari.
Notably, Bar Association president Awadesh Singh slapped MP Yogesh Verma recently. This incident caused a great uproar. The BJP high command is also aware of this. Subsequently, the party took action against the accused and the police also registered a case for investigation.
