UP government has cancelled the land allotment of a Ghaziabad college which is owned by the family of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, reported IANS.

Kamal Nath’s son Nakul Nath is the head of Institute of Management Technology (IMT).

 Confirming the development, BJP corporator Rajendra Tyagi said construction done on the campus would now be demolished.

“Acting on my complaint, the allotment of land, measuring around 10,841 square metres, has been cancelled by the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA),” IANS quoted Tyagi as saying.

In his complaint, Tyagi said the land belonged to the state-run Chowdhary Charan Singh University (CCSU) and he had evidence to prove that the IMT grabbed it through fraudulent means.

“Documents reveal that the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation (UPSIDC) in 1973 allotted the IMT a plot near the Rajnagar Extension.

The Institute was supposed to be built on this land,” Tyagi said.

Following Tyagi’s complaint, Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik, who is also the Chancellor of the CCSU, wrote to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to initiate a probe into the case.

Last week, an aide of the Madhya Pradesh CM said the charges levelled by the BJP leader were baseless and the probe was just to harass Kamal Nath’s family.
