State Congress chief Ajoy Kumar alleged the Government for its involvement into Rs 1,365 crore mining scam and held Chief Minister Raghubar Das and concerned Department’s head directly responsible for that.
“Against the penalty levied against Shah Brother’ in the tune of Rs 1365 crore for violating norms set for environmental and other statuary clearances, the then DMO of Chaibasa brought it down to Rs 252 crore overstepping his jurisdiction and also extended the lease. There was done in connivance of all the parties and the Government which is a partner in this organised loot. The AG office went on misleading the judiciary,” charged the PCC chief.
He added that the party would soon move to the Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) and file a PIL before the High Court to take contingence of the matter. PCC spokesperson Lal Kishore Nath Shahdeo, Alok Dubey and Rajesh Thakur were present on the occasion.
