Former leader of opposition at Vidhan Sabha and senior Congress leader Mahendra Karma on Wednesday alleged that the mining scams in Chhattisgarh were much bigger than those exposed in Karnataka, which resulted in entrapment of Bellary brothers (Reddy brothers). “The rapid exploitation of the state’s mineral resources clearly indicates that the Raman Singh-led BJP government simply intends to destroy Chhattisgarh,” Karma said.
The veteran politician said the mining scams in the state were only tip of the iceberg and many more corruption cases could be unleashed on investigation. Terming former BJP president LK Advani’s symbolic Jan Chenta Yatra (anti-corruption yatra) as being taken out at right time, Karma said the yatra would be widely hailed if Advani would unbiasedly admit that corruption prevailed in Chhattisgarh too and appeal to the people for system change when his yatra would enter the state.
“The objective of the yatra is apparent but Advani should not put a political hue in it. If he would do then the yatra would merely be dubbed as another mode to get cheap popularity,” Karma said.
Demanding from the Centre to issue white paper against the state government, he said the common man had been severely offended by the rising corruption in the system.
“A senior BJP minister’s name has been flashed in road construction scam and reports against had published in Canada that he had taken bribe in dollars. Advani should take cognisance of the wrongdoings of state BJP ministers and must condemn the corrupt government publicly when his yatra would enter Chhattisgarh,” Karma said.
