leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Ajay Singh has asked Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to clarify regarding land allotment to Jay Shah, son of BJP president Amit Shah in Ratlam district for wind energy plant, despite not being eligible. He also sought clarification on the said Rs 15 crore investment by Jai Shah.
In a letter to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Singh requested complete inform tion regarding investment of Rs 15 crore in wind energy by Jai Shah’s company Stock in Ratlam. In the recent exposure by ‘The Wire’, it has been mentioned that Jai Shah has come up with 2.1 MW wind energy plant in Ratlam.
Singh questioned over the land allotment process saying that if the company is not expert in wind energy, why the costly land was allotted to it. He asked whether out of fear from Amit Shah, the land was allotted to his son and suspected a conspiracy in the whole episode.
He claimed that a new sort of corruption is spreading in the State. To safeguard a private company, A Union Minister has come forth; this suggests that the leaders are giving companies of their relatives by destroying future of several young entrepreneurs, Singh alleged.
Singh stated that on the one hand, Chief Minister shows the young entrepreneurs dream of becoming Tata and Ambani by coming up with industries in the State, while on the other, overlooking rules and regulations, the relatives of BJP leaders are being facilitated.
He asked as why the youth from Madhya Pradesh was not eligible for investment in Ratlam and why Amit Shah’s son was eligible.
