UP poll: Bar girls lure voters for SP In Kanpur

As the date for the Assembly elections comes closer in Uttar Pradesh, political parties are leaving no stone unturned to lure the voters.

In an attempt to garner support, a candidate of the Samajwadi Party organised a dance programme in Kanpur on the occasion of 'Makar Sankranti' on Saturday.

But what caught the attention were the bar girls, who, wearing skimpy clothes, danced among the crowd and presented vulgar performances.

Hitting hard at the party, BJP Kanpur wing Vice President, Surendra Maithani, said the SP was using cheap tricks to woo voters and they would take up this issue with the election commission.

NRHM scam: CBI lodges eight FIRs

LUCKNOW: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday night registered eight separate FIRs at its Lucknow office in connection with the swindling of funds and allegations of corruption in implementation of the National Rural Health Mission in the state. The move has paved way for initiating arrests in the cases, if the investigators saw a need for such an action . Sources in the CBI confirmed that a series of arrests were likely to follow in the next few days, including those of some senior officers , politicians, contractors and their families as well. The CBI move is sure to result in a political upheaval as the FIRs are related to anomalies committed during the present government itself and the action is sure to come as a fodder for the political opposition of the government to batter the BSP in the poll-bound state. The number of accused in these cases was expected to cross a couple of dozens but the exact count could not be ascertained yet as it will depend on the statements of those who have been prima-facie identified as the accused. The FIRs include names of some senior officers, former ministers, MPs, MLAs and MLCs. The cases have been registered under different sections of Prohibition of Corruption Act apart from the sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) that provide for action against forgery , fraud and graft. Sources confirmed that at least one FIR has been lodged against the State Health Society (SHC), which was the nodal agency for the NRHM implmentation. However , whether any particular name or designation has been identified as accused in the case, could not be confirmed. The CBI sources said that arrests were likely to include those whose names had figured in front companies that were being actually operated by politicians and officers of the health department. "In some instances , the individuals were not involved in the crime but there is evidence that they were pretty aware of it, hence they too will be deemed as accused," said senior officer.
