Patna: Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd has served a show cause to Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav seeking his reply on a petrol pump allotted to him in Patna by the company.
The notice from BPCL was delivered to Yadav, who is minister for Health, Minor Water Resources, Environment and Forest in Grand Alliance government of Nitish Kumar on May 29 last.
The show cause gave 15 days time to Yadav, the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, from the date of receipt for submitting his reply.
The notice signed by BPCL Territory Manager (Retail), Patna, Manish Kumar followed a complaint that Yadav had acquired the petrol pump at the busy Anisabad bypass road in Patna on the basis of "wrong" information furnished by him. A copy of the notice was made available to the media said here today.
Senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi had highlighted the issue of petrol pump allotment to Tej Pratap Yadav in his series of allegations against Lalu Prasad's family.
According to the complainant Yadav had falsely declared in his application that he has land in his name for the retail allotment whereas the real owner of the said land is M/S A K Infosystems "who had never given land on lease to you (Tej Pratap)".
"On the date of submission of the application for the retail outlet (12.1.2012) you were neither the shareholder nor the director of the said M/s A K Infosystem which never entered into any lease with you (Tej Pratap)," the complaint said.
The notice further sought explanation from him as to whether he could spare time to look after the outlet's activities.
