The BJP on Tuesday questioned the sincerity of the State Government to refund money lost by duped depositors in the chit fund scam.
“The State Govt had constituted Justice RK Patra Commission of Inquiry on July 9 last year to probe the mega chit fund scam and identify the genuine depositors for refund of money. But till now, the commission is yet to prepare a list. In sharp contrast, the Justice Shyamal Kumar Sen Commission constituted in April last year to probe the Saradha chit fund scam had brought out the first list of depositors within five months,” said BJP spokesman Sajjan Sharma. He added that till date the WB has already released Rs 166 crore to about 3,95,000 depositors while not a single depositor in Odisha got anything.
