Demands CBI report, special session in Vidhan Sabha to debate on it
Raipur, March 22, 2013
Congress on Fridays asked
chief minister Raman Singh to tender his resignation in wake of revelation by CAG
report that said that the government exchequer was dented by about 2500 crore for
giving undue waiver benefits to Adani group and BALCO.
“The
government received the CAG report one week earlier but it tabled in the House
on the concluding day of budget session to escape debate on it. Te Congress
even pressed the ruling party for debate CAG report but it refused to do so,”
said state Congress president Nandkumar Patel while interacting with scribes at
his residence.
He
also demanded CBI probe into waiver benefits given to Adani group and BALCO and
special session in state assembly to debate on CAG report.
“The
Adani group was appointed as mine developer and operator by the state power
company which got Parsa East Coal Block for captive use. The contract to Adani
group was given by amending unnecessary amendments in terms and conditions of
contract that eventually would dent government exchequer by Rs 1568.91 crore,”
Patel said.
“We
all know with which BJP leader Adani is linked but the latter will face similar
consequence as did Sancheti brothers faced despite their link with former BJP
president Nitin Gadkari,” he added.
Besides,
he said, the government benefited BALCO by giving it 3000 acre land at lease at
the rate of Rs 200 per acre. “In this leasing process, the government incurred
loss of Rs 965 crore,” he said.
He
said the Congress would include both the issues along with Bhadoura land scam
in its three-day statewide mahadharna beginning from Saturday.
