September 22, 2015 08:47

Bahujan Samaj party chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati will address the media on her reported involvement in the National Rural Health Mission scam today.

Mayawati revealed her plans after the Central Bureau of Investigation reportedly said that they would be investigating her alleged role in the multi-crore NRHM scam.

The CBI has so far filed 74 first information reports and 48 chargesheets in connection with the scam, in which a former minister and a former principal secretary of the state government have been named.

The CBI reportedly believes that by examining Mayawati, they might "unearth a larger conspiracy".

Media reports so far are saying that the CBI is seeking clarification on the funding of NRHM projects.
