 Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Minister Azam Khan |
Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Minister Azam Khan has now unleashed another controversy by accusing a senior bureaucrat the state of being "anti-Muslim".
Unhappy over poor medical facilities in a district hospital in his constituency Rampur, the powerful Samajwadi party MLA slammed Pravir Kumar, principal secretary, health, and accused him of having an anti-Muslim mindset, said a newspaper report on Wednesday.
The recent outburst of Khan on the health department is seen as an outcome of the ongoing tussle between two Muslim ministers in the Akhilesh Yadav's cabinet — Azam Khan and Medical and Health Minister Ahmed Hasan.
Azam Khan's tirade against Pravir Kumar is seen as veiled attack on Hassan, who has recently gained proximity to Akhilesh Yadav.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has recently praised the Ahmed Hasan for the performance of the Health Department.
Notably, Pravir Kumar was posted as Principal Secretary in the Urban Development Minister before being moved to the Health Department.
