In another scathing attack on Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh who is embroiled in the ‘bribe gate’ controversy, former Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal alleged that Virbhadra had misled the Congress high command by distorting the facts.
Congress high command had chosen to back Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh after he gave clarification on his alleged business dealing with a promoter of Power company and his family business interests in sister concern of the said power company.
The clarification of Virbhadra was recently posted on the website of All India Congress Committee (AICC) and Congress general secretary Ambika Soni had said that charges against Singh are not new.
Dhumal alleged that Virbhadra Singh had misled the AICC by distorting the facts. “Yes, the 17 MW Sai Kothi project was allotted to M/s Venture Energy and Technologies Pvt ltd promoted by Vakamulla Chander Shekher, by BJP Government along with eight other projects but after the company failed to get clearances from Centre and due to misrepresentation of facts, cancellation notice was served within six months,” said Dhumal.
