New Delhi: UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday told Primary Education Minister Kiran Pal Singh he need not resign over allegations that he knew a murder lecturer.
Police claim Kavita Rani, who worked in Meerut, was murdered over sharing of money earned by blackmailing a politician. Kavita reportedly wrote in letters that she had got threats from Pal.
''When the investigation has not found you guilty in the case, why should you resign?'' Mulayam told Pal when he offered to resign.
Pal told mediapersons in Bulandshahr he never met Kavita and the police had absolved him. ''It is a conspiracy hatched by some vested forces to malign my image before the 2007 assembly poll and I am ready for the CBI probe in the case,'' PTI quoted Pal as saying.
State food processing minister Babulal, a Rashtriya Lok Dal member (RLD), resigned on Tuesday after Kavita's diary read he had phoned more than 53 times a day before she disappeared on October 24.
Former UP irrigation minister Merajuddin Ahmed resigned from RLD executive on Monday after admitting that he knew Kavita.
