New Delhi, November 11
The Indian Youth Congress workers today marched towards Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s residence demanding action against six union ministers alleged to have sought "undue favours" from public sector undertakings.

Led by IYC chief Randeep Singh Surjewala, workers raised slogans against the Prime Minister and the NDA government. They were stopped at the Parliament House intersection.

Addressing the activists, AICC General Secretary Mukul Wasnik said the BJP-led government stood exposed before people.

Mr Surjewala said "Raj Dharma" required Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to disclose the names of the "six tainted ministers." Seeking their immediate removal, Mr Surjewala demanded the registration of cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act against them.

He termed as "half-hearted" Cabinet Secretariat’s clarification on the media reports about some ministers seeking undue favours from public sector undertakings.
