LifeEdit
Singh hails from Rajput family in Jaunpur Uttar Pradesh.
In earlier election depositions, he had claimed to be a B.Sc. graduate; from 2004 onwards, he acknowledged only having finished high school.
Many years ago, KripaShankar was working as a machine operator at a medicine company AFD (Aglo French Department) manufacturer of Bplex-Forte multivitamin.[1]
He subsequently joined Congress and rose through the ranks to become a powerful figure by the 2004 elections, when he was assigned the cabinet seat as Minister of State for Home.[2]
On 7 July 2021, Singh joined BJP. He had quit the Congress in 2019 over its decision to oppose NDA government’s policy on Jammu and Kashmir, he was looking for political rehabilitation. He had four options— to rejoin Congress or join NCP, Shiv Sena or BJP. After prolonged deliberations, he decided to join BJP.
Disproportionate assets investigationEdit
In the 2008–09 period, several accounts held by Kripashankar's wife Maltidevi, and his son Narendra, showed deposits and transfers totaling Rs 65 crore.[3] The enforcement directorate found no evidence linking him to Koda.[4] However, the anti-corruption investigations revealed disproportionately large assets. Despite these assets, Congress kept supporting Kripashankar; it has been suggested that he is close to some aides of Congress President Sonia Gandhi.[5]
In March 2011, it was revealed that in 2008–09, Shahid Balwa had channeled Rs 4.5 crores into an account held by Narendra and his wife.[6] In the anti-corruption atmosphere of the time, Kripashankar had to resign. On 22 February 2012, the Bombay High Court directed the city police commissioner to prosecute Kripashankar Singh for "criminal misconduct" under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.[7]
