LUCKNOW: Directions were issued on Tuesday for the cancellation of allotment of 72 plots to two organisations – Abhinav Shikshan Evam Samaj Sewa Sansthan and Seema Shikshan Evam Samaj Sewa Sansthan – linked with MSME minister Rakesh Sachan.
The plots had been allotted to the two organisations in 2011-12 but no development has taken place on the land under the Fatehpur industrial areas, since then. Sachan, however, claimed that he had already conveyed to the government that he wanted to surrender the plots.
The matter regarding the allotment came to light in a complaint filed by Laghu Udyog Bharati, a pan-India non-profit for empowering MSMEs, on February 11, where it was stated that no work had been done on the allotted land for the past 10 years. The allotment was made when Sachan was the Fatehpur MP from the Samajwadi Party. Sources said that the allotment itself was not as per norms and even the security money for the same had not been deposited.
