LGRD state minister denied registration for not bribing at registry office
State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (LGRD) Swapan Bhattacharjee on Wednesday said he was denied registration of land in Jashore as he was unable to pay the bribe amount as per demand from the sub-registry office.
"I went to register a land last week and it did not happen as I could not pay according to the rate of corruption," he said at a rally arranged by Management and Resources Development Initiative (MRDI) marking International Day for Universal Access to Information 2021.
He also alleged that no work is done in his parliamentary constituency's (Jashore-5) sub-registry office without spending money (bribe).
