Ranchi, July 13 (UNI) Alleging that corruption prevailed in the implementation of ''Sarv Shiksha Abhiyaan in Jharkhand, the BJP has urged Governor Syed Sibtey Razi to conduct an inquiry into the matter.

Party' spokesperson Birnachi Narain today said the project, which began here with the motive to literate the children of rural areas, had now fallen into ''corrupt'' hands.
