Uttar Pradesh: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Principal Secretary has been accused of seeking a bribe worth Rs 25 lakh. SP Goel, who is considered as one of the most powerful IAS officers in UP, where CM has repetitively pressed the issue of combating corruption. A businessman named Abhishek Gupta complained against Goel to Governor Ram Naik. Post the complaint, Naik wrote a letter to Yogi seeking a response on the issue on April 30, but even after 1 and a half months, no action or investigation was done by CMO. Now, Bharatiya Janta Party has filed a case against the complainant Abhishek Gupta saying "he has been threatening SP Goel by sending letters to Goel by using 'fake letterheads' of various party leaders. <code></code> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lucknow resident Abhishek Gupta alleges that Principal Secy to Uttar Pradesh CM, SP Goyal,demanded bribe of Rs 25 lakh from him, says, 'First he demanded it indirectly, later asked for Rs 25 lakh.'
