Ardh Kumbh Mela scam: Chopra demands CBI probe against CM

Published on: 

Upping the ante against the Chief Minister Harish Rawat, the sacked Jwalpaur Mandi Samiti chairperson Sanjay Chopra who has recently joined BJP following the induction of his mentors Vijay Bahuguna and Harak Singh Rawat into the saffron party said on Tuesday that another    CBI probe should be  launched against the CM on the Ardh Kumbh Mela scams involving toilet construction.

“The  demand  would gain momentum in the coming  days. The  grafts that  happened involving  a  momentous religious congregation should be exposed,” Chopra said. He further said that  Prime Minister   Narendra Modi’s proposed Saharanpur rally on May 26 to mark the second anniversary of his government  would  have its base at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar.

Chopra alleged during a press conference that the  people of Haridwar has seen through Harish Rawat. “Things have come to such a pass that  even if he swears touching Mother Ganga that the  sting CD probe is meant to sully his image the people would not believe him.

For they know that  he can go to any length to stick to power  and make money.  lakhs of rupees were spent in making temporary toilets during Ardh Kumbh mela which should have been made on permanent basis as per the need of the city, he said, adding  that things should be probed thoroughly and responsibility fixed.
