August 10, 2012 12:06

In yet another shocking statement emerging from supremo Mulayam Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP) stables, a senior leader has virtually given official sanction to administrators to steal.

According to reports, SP's Shivpal Singh Yadav tells bureaucrats and police that it is OK to steal if they work hard. He is the uncle of Akhilesh Yadav.

Speaking to UP PWD officials, the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department Minister said, "As long as you work hard and get things done, you can steal a little.' He went on to add that this 'stealing' should not get transformed into general 'loot' of the people.
