Constitute COI to probe scams of ex-Ministers, MLAs: Harsh Dev
2/3/2022 10:42:39 PM
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 3: Making a vociferous appeal to the Lt. Governor to constitute a Commission of Inquiry (COI) against the corrupt MLAs and Ministers who have accumulated huge wealth and disproportionate assets in the last six years, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister lambasted the erstwhile State govt. for having grossly failed to take action against the blemished politicians of BJP and PDP who had looted public exchequer.
He said that local media and even erstwhile Governor SP Malik had referred to several scams in the J&K State in insurance contracts, power projects, Forest and Health Departments besides large scale illegitimate back door appointments but the bigwigs continued to enjoy immunity in view of their political clout with no action whatsoever initiated against the corrupt politicians. Singh said that interestingly, the BJP tried to cover up the Roshni scam and also filed a review petition in the High Court after its own MLAs were found involved in the nasty Roshni scandal. He accused the BJP govt of having deliberately abolished the Accountability Commission only to protect its corrupt leaders. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today.
Describing the BJP Govt's tall slogans of providing transparent, accountable and corruption free governance to the people a hoax, he said that all such rants were made to enchant the masses for political gains. He said that several ex-BJP Ministers and MLAs had been reported to have created huge assets, taken loan from J&K Bank amounting to several crores and got it declared NPA besides having defied norms and procedures and violated Defence Acts besides other violations in constructing un-authorized structures and palatial bungalows.
He said a BJP MLA rose from rags to riches within no time and had been accused of raising two palatial bungalows after elections besides raising huge moveable and immoveable assets in Jammu city and its vicinity which were disproportionate to his known sources of income. He further disclosed that in replies of RTIs, State land measuring 22 kanals and 15 marlas was found to be in illegal possession of said MLA and his family who had further regularized 9 Kanals 15 Marlas of state land under the nasty Roshni scheme besides he having been involved in swindling subsidies from Agriculture and Horticulture departments which were supposed to be meant for the poor and the BPL families.
Urging the Lt. Governor to constitute a Commission of Inquiry to probe into the involvement of ex-MLAs and ex-Ministers of erstwhile unethical alliance in corrupt deeds, large scale bunglings and other acts of omission and commission, Harsh Dev Singh said that until noose was tightened around corrupt politicians, good and clean governance would remain a distant dream.
Maqbool Malik (General Secretary-JKNPP), Parshotam Parihar (State Secretary-JKNPP) and Surinder Chouhan (District President Jammu Rural) were also present in the press conference.
