Party also demands free administration of Covid-19 vaccine whenever it is available
The Uttarakhand Congress has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the scams in the Uttarakhand Building and other Construction workers welfare Board.
The vice president of Uttarakhand Congress, Surya Kant Dhasmana said that scams worth Crores of Rupees have occurred in works like making of labourer card, distribution of kits, bicycles, sewing machines, ration kits and recruitment of employees. He said that the government is pretending that the inquiry would be conducted on the irregularities, but the Chief Minister is trying to put pressure on the departmental minister in the name of investigation. Dhasmana said that a CBI inquiry should be ordered by the zero tolerance government in the scam. The Congress leader also accused the state government for not having any policy on Covid-19. He said that lack of policy in combating Corona has resulted in the death of more than 1200 people and spread of infection in the state.
Dhasnama said that the Trivendra Singh Rawat adopted a careless attitude in dealing with the disease due to which the eight mountainous districts which earlier were in the green zone became infested with Covid-19 and the CM who also holds health portfolio is directly responsible for it. He added that the state government should ensure that when the vaccine of Covid-19 comes, it should be provided free of cost to the people of the state.
