Uttar Pradesh's Urban Development and Energy Minister AK Sharma has gained attention for his uncompromising approach toward improving efficiency in his departments.
However, the opposition members staged a noisy walkout from the House after being dissatisfied with the Minister's reply.
"Kanpur city has already fascinated me and the industry here used to be the centre of attraction across the country and the world but unfortunately, in the last three to four decades, Kanpur has lost its original glory," Sharma said while talking to the media.
AK Sharma, a 1988-batch IAS of Gujarat cadre and also an Additional Secretary in the PMO has been appointed Secretary, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and will take over upon superannuation of the present incumbent Arun Kumar Panda on April 30.
Rao had transferred out AK Sharma despite the Supreme Court’s embargo against the transfer of officials in the Muzaffarpur case.
Earlier, the court transferred the trial of Muzaffarpur shelter home cases from Patna to Saket POCSO court in Delhi for 'a free and fair trial'.
Gandhi alleged that AK Sharma, a Gujarat-cadre officer in the CBI played a crucial role in weakening the lookout notice against Mallya.
