The Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) alleged massive irregularities in allocation of plots in a housing society at Bawadia Kalan locality in the State capital wherein more members were registered than the number of plots available there.
While talking to media persons here on Friday, MPCC Media Cell Chairman Manak Agrawal said, “Fifteen hundred members were registered in Rohit Housing Cooperative Society by the year 2003 although only 1459 plots were available in the 100 acre land of the society. later, the number of members was increased to 2450.”
Pointing out that enrolling more members than the number of plots available amounted to violation of the Cooperative Societies Act. He said that it was done to give favours to ruling Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. Several legitimate members were deprived of plots while certain registries were overlooked and fresh registries made, he added.
Agrawal said that a party delegation will meet Governor Ram Naresh Yadav and submit a memorandum demanding a high-level inquiry.
After the press conference by the MPCC Media Chairman, leader of Opposition Ajay Singh sprung into action and issued a statement demanding a probe by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the housing plot allotment irregularity to bring out the truth of the matter before the common people of the state.
Notably, Singh has been consistently demanding CBI probe into various matters time to time. Recently, he has demanded CBI probe into the suspicious death of Ratlam mining inspector Sanjay Bhargava and also in the case of gang rape of Swiss woman in Datia. In the Datia gang-rape case, the police have already submitted challan in the court.
