Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has allegedly sacked the State Mining Minister Gayatri Prajapati and Cabinet Minister Raj Kishore Singh though no formal announcement regarding the ouster has been made yet.

Gayatri made it to the headlines in March for claiming money under the ‘Kanya Dhan Yojana’ which is only for underprivileged families under the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category.

His apparent property stood at 1.83 crores as per an affidavit filed by the Minister himself in Assembly elections 2012.

More information is awaited.
