The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Karan Mahara has said that the Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ should come forward to answer the questions being asked about him allegedly possessing assets which are disproportionate to his income.
Interacting with the media persons at Rajiv Bhawan here on Tuesday the PCC president said that the Dehradun Mayor should resign from his post and an inquiry should be ordered in the case. He said that Gama’s assets have increased by 100 per cent in the last four and half years. Mahara said that in an affidavit filed at the time of him contesting the election of mayor in the year 2018, Gama had mentioned that he and his family have four immovable properties and now 11 new properties have been added to his assets. He alleged that in every scam or paper leak cases there is an involvement of people having connection with the BJP.
Similarly, a BJP leader was involved in the Ankita Bhandari murder case and it is certain that the VIP involved in the case was also from the BJP, he further alleged. Launching an attack on the ruling BJP, the PCC president said that the party has become a washing machine which washes all the sins of the leaders joining it. He said that Mahendra Singh Rana who was a former Block Pramukh has been accused of setting up a company by fictitious means. A forged experience certificate was used by his company to claim many contracts. Similarly he is accused of violation of provisions of Panchayati Raj Act.
Mahara added that recently former chairman of Badkot municipal council Atol Rawat has joined the BJP and he also has cases of corruption registered against him. He said that the deputy chairman of Chamoli district panchayat Laxman Rawat who took the membership of BJP was sentenced for a jail term of six months in cheque bounce case.
