JVM supremo Babulal Marandi has charged Chief Minister Raghubar Das for being a silent spectator to the massive corruption going inside various Departments directly under him.
The former Chief Minister of the State while referring to a recent matter came into light about exorbitant hike done into estimated cost of the Jharkhand High Court building coming up at Dhurwa, alleged that Das was privy to all the irregularities continuing.
“Tender for the building was done based on the DPR and the administrative approval for Rs 366 crore was given. Surprisingly, the tender was finalised for less than Rs 100 crore than the approved estimate. Real game behind it soon came to fore when cost of the building has reported to reach up to Rs 697 crore. All these has come out in open by the probe report of Development Commissioner DK Tiwari and other officials but instead of acting against the Building Construction Department Secretary the Government is setting up yet another committee of engineers who themselves have done all this,” said the JVM chief.
Marandi who went on stating about the mala-fide intention on the part of the CM asked why he was keeping so many Departments under his folder.
“The scam and several others like this in different Departments are taking place right under his nose. He is a party of the loot reached over Rs 5000 crore now. Still he says that there is no stain on the Government during its four years of stay,” said the leader addressing a press conference on Monday.
The JVM supremo charging the Government to oragnise loot in the State in a planned manner said that the party would not let this to happen and take the matter before the people of Jharkhand. “Had the CM been honest he would have acted against the Secretary. The Government and the BJP are organising institutional loot of the State and we will not allow them to do so.
The party demands that the matter be probed by either a retired HC judge or the CBI or any other agency of outside the State under the supervision of the High Court else we are ready to take the political battle to the court of the people,” said Marandi.
