Rampant corruption in agriculture road maps, CM Nitish directly involved, alleges former Minister Sudhakar Singh

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA and former Agriculture Department Minister Sudhakar Singh on Monday alleged corruption in the Agriculture Department in the implementation of agriculture road maps and demanded a probe.

He shared a letter he had written while heading the department on manipulation of funds on a large scale in Bihar Agriculture Road map scheme.

“While being the Agriculture Minister, I had written a letter [No. 280, dated 17-09-2022] and ordered departmental inquiry so that it can be known how much the farmers of Bihar benefitted after implementation of the three road maps and spending around ₹3.75 lakh crore on the projects in the last 15 years,” Mr. Singh said at his residence in Patna while addressing the media.
