Maya supports Bansal: Not appropriate for him to resign

May 06, 2013 14:11

It was "not appropriate" to seek resignation of Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal over the bribery scandal before CBI files a final report on the issue after its investigations, BSP chief Mayawati said today.

"The issue is being investigated by the CBI and it should not prolong its probe in this case and keep its report before the nation as soon as possible. "Till the time CBI report does not come out, it would not be appropriate to ask for the resignation of the Railway Minister in a hurry," she told reporters outside Parliament House complex.

The BSP supremo was asked to comment on the opposition demand for Bansal's resignation after his nephew was held by the CBI for allegedly taking bribe for appointment of a Railway Board member.
