“ It was shocking to note that BJP leaders who were not holding any position in government and fell in common man’s category were occupying not only ‘Special Type’, ‘A-type’ Estates mansions but many of them were still living in Ministerial Bungalows. And while the opposition leaders including ex-Ministers and heads of recognized political parties were hounded out of Estates quarters’ years back through police force, the said BJP workers were allowed to retain the same thereby providing the most glaring example of present govt’s dictatorial and autocratic policies besides being indicative of patronized corruption in BJP rule”, divulged Singh.
Seeking a probe by ACB into the illegal occupation of government property, State and Forest lands by BJP ex-Ministers and MLAs, Singh called for punitive action against the corrupt politicians and unscrupulous officers who had made mockery of the system while enjoying the patronage of their political bosses. |
