The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president, Karan Mahara has said that successive governments of BJP in the State are immersed neck deep in corruption. He said that the State government should release a white paper on all the scams during the last six years of BJP rule.
Commenting on the investigation initiated by the economic offenses wing of Uttarakhand Police in the money laundering case of the company having connection with K S Panwar, the advisor of the former chief minister of the State, Mahara said that the Congress party had raised the issue in the State assembly in past but the then government ignored it. He said that the then Congress MLA from Manglaur, Qazi Nizamuddin had raised the issue in assembly and demanded an inquiry against the Social Mutual benefits company associated with Panwar. The PCC president said that he and Congress MLA Pritam Singh had participated in the discussion and the Congress party had staged a walk out on the issue when no satisfactory answer was received from the government side. He said that the sensitive issue was kept in the cold by the state government for as long as it had links with people in power and now orders for an investigation have been given. The Congress leader said that the company has engaged in money laundering by opening accounts of people by fake IDs.
Mahara said that everyday new cases of corruption done in last six years of BJP rule are coming up to the fore and the ‘ zero tolerance on corruption’ rhetoric of the ruling BJP has been exposed. He said that Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UKSSSC) paper leak case, backdoor appointments in the Vidhan Sabha, cooperative recruitment scam and other recruitment scams prove that the rights of the unemployed have been infringed. He demanded that the Dhami government should release a white paper on all the scams done during last six years in the State.
