The CBI Wednesday raided about 45 places across Uttar Pradesh, including the premises of expelled Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) member and former minister Babu Singh Kushwaha as well as his associates, in connection with the multi-crore National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) scam.

Expelled from the ruling BSP last November, Kushwaha had on Tuesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
