State BJP leaders would call on the Governor of Uttarakhand on Saturday to demand action on the raging liquor CD scam. Stating this, State BJP president Tirath Singh Rawat said during a whirlwind Kumaon tour on Friday that his party would not sit idle on the matter. “The Chief Minister Harish Rawat must resign owning moral responsibility for what the CD has shown,” he added.
“Chief Minister’s personal secretary Mohammed Shahid who is now in the eye of the storm is known to be CM’s blue-eyed boy. He has been working under him since Rawat was a Union minister. What is shameful is that Rawat had entrusted him with monitoring works of the anti-corruption wing in the state,” he said.
Referring to the disaster scam, the BJP leader said the State Government is refraining from taking action against those embroiled in it. “He is rather fawning on them,” he added.
