Jamshedpur: District Congress president Vijay Khan today rubbished the allegations of bribery against state labour minister KN Tripathy.
Addressing a press conference held at Tilak Pustakalaya, Bistupur, Khan said, �The charges against the minister are false and unfounded. He has been accused of taking money for the transfer and posting of a labour department official. But the fact is that the official was found guilty of corrupt practices.�
Tripathy faces the charge of taking a bribe of Rs 22 lakh against the minister for the transfer-posting of the training centre in-charge of Labour and Employment Department Dalbir Singh Bhadoriya.
The Congress president further said, �Had the minister accepted the bribe, he would have not transferred Bhadoriya since the latter was happy lining his pocket in the city. The charges have no substance.�
Khan said the district Congress committee would probe into the charges since the case was linked to the city.
