Neera Yadav will in all probability go down in the annals of history of UP bureaucracy as the first Chief Secretary to be convicted of corruption charges. A 1971-batch IAS officer and 39th chief secretary of Uttar Pradesh, she had joined the BJP ahead of the 2009 parliamentary polls in the presence of then BJP national president Rajnath Singh, who is an MP from Ghaziabad.
Yadav has been sentenced to four years in prison after a CBI court found her guilty of corruption in what’s referred to as the Noida land scam. She was convicted of violating the rules to help a company named Flex Industries, owned by Ashok Chaturvedi, get an industrial plot in Noida in 1995 when she was the chairman of the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida). Chaturvedi was also sentenced to four years.
The CBI had said in its chargesheet that Yadav’s allotment of two plots to two different companies owned by Chaturvedi cost the government more than a crore in losses. She was accused by the CBI of changing criteria for eligibility for land to benefit Chaturvedi. The CBI registered the case against Yadav in February 1998 on the orders of the Supreme Court.
