LUCKNOW: Apna Dal (Kameravadi) leader Pallavi Patel and former officer on special duty (OSD) Raj Bahadur Patel on Sunday reiterated allegations of corruption in promotions in the technical education department headed by Uttar Pradesh minister Ashish Patel.

Apna Dal (Sonelal) leader Ashish Patel, who is also the husband of Union minister Anupriya Patel, had earlier denied all the charges, stating that there was a conspiracy against him.

Speaking at a press conference, Pallavi Patel, without naming anyone, said, "When you walk, dogs run behind, but when you turn around and scold them, they get scared, you understand. With me are the real descendants of Sardar Patel. It is beyond my understanding why the government is betting on donkeys in a horse race."

"In May 2024, I wrote a letter to the minister that the DPC (department promotion committee) process is being done against the rules. A copy of this was sent to the chairman of AICTE, principal secretary to the governor, principal secretary to the chief minister, principal secretary personnel, principal secretary finance," she said.
