Claims Gama’s wealth increased ten times after he became mayor
The Uttarakhand Congress has demanded that a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe should be conducted to investigate the wealth amassed by the Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’. The general secretary of Uttarakhand Congress Navin Joshi said that it is really surprising how the mayor was able to amass wealth worth crores of rupees within some years after being elected the mayor of Dehradun. A Right To Information (RTI) activist had recently claimed that the wealth of the Gama increased tremendously after he became the mayor. Joshi said that Gama has definitely misused his powers as mayor and there should be a CBI inquiry into all the movable and immovable properties possessed by the mayor and his family members.
He said that Gama’s wealth has increased ten fold in the last four years after he assumed the charge of mayor. He claimed that the sudden increase in the wealth of the mayor is ample proof that he is corrupt. The Congress leader said that the claim of the ‘zero tolerance on corruption’ of the State government is hollow and the BJP government of Uttarakhand is immersed neck deep in corruption. He said that Gama has no right to continue in the office and the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami should order a CBI probe to investigate the corruption by the mayor.
