The Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on Saturday terminated the license of Bihar Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav's petrol pump after he failed to furnish a satisfactory explanation to the notice issued over the allocation of the property in the state.
On May 31, the BPCL issued notice to Tej Pratap seeking an explanation on the petrol pump license. The oil corporation sought Pratap's explanation on how he acquired the licence and asked him to reply within 15 days.
The notice signed by BPCL Territory Manager (Retail), Patna, Manish Kumar followed a complaint that Yadav had acquired the petrol pump at Patna's busy Anisabad bypass road on the basis of wrong information furnished by him.
The notice is reportedly connected to senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Modi's allegations that the petrol pump had been fraudulently allotted to Tej Pratap during the UPA-II regime.
