Drawing flak from opposition parties, the CBI claimed that the then chief minister Akhilesh Yadav's office had cleared 13 mining projects on a single day, officials said. The agency said Akhilesh Yadav, who also held the mining portfolio for some time, had cleared 14 leases, of which 13 were cleared on February 17, 2013, in violation of the e-tendering process.
