leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Ajay Singh on Monday demanded the resignation of Minister for New and Renewable Energy Paras Jain for his alleged involvement in facilitating contract worth crores of rupees to his daughter and daughter-in-law.
Singh had alleged that to benefit his daughter and daughter-in-law’s firm Infinity Energy Solution, the dates of the tender process were extended thrice until all the required documents were not collected by the firm and later due to having single tender the contract was awarded to the firm. He claimed that every leader minister’s children and relatives are free to do business but to help them for benefitting against rules and regulations is corruption.
The oath taken by Jain after he became Minister is also violated and he should resign immediately.
He stated that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan who is supporter of zero tolerance on corruption should prove by accepting resignation of his Minister or asking him to submit his papers. Singh said that in the State BJP, ruling party members and BJP organisation members have started to behave as they are above the law.
At present there are two types of laws in the State one which is flexible at every level for BJP organisation and ruling party members while people of the State are govern by law as per book. This is not the first instance earlier Omprakash Dhurve, Forest Minister Gaurishankar Shejwar and State Minister Suryaprakash Meena have misused power to provide benefit to their close ones but till date no action has been taken against them.
