Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister alleged that the Saifai syndicate has poured Rs 864 crore into the Jan Prakash Centre in Lucknow, but the complex is still incomplete.
The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh publicly stated that the Saifai syndicate has invested a total of Rs 864 crore in constructing the Jan Prakash (JP) Centre in Lucknow. Despite the massive outlay, the building remains unfinished, according to the official remark reported by The Indian Express.
The JP Centre, situated in the state capital, was envisioned as a major public facility, but the ongoing construction has stalled. The CM highlighted the discrepancy between the funds spent and the lack of a completed structure, raising questions about project management and accountability.
The statement has prompted calls for a detailed audit of the expenditure and progress on the centre. Opposition leaders and civic groups are expected to demand clarification from the authorities overseeing the Saifai syndicate's involvement, as the unfinished project continues to draw public attention.
