New Delhi: With a
Comptroller and Auditor General of India report alleging financial
irregularities worth thousands of crores of rupees by the Narendra
Modi government in Gujarat, the Congress Friday trained its guns
at the Bharatiya Janata Party and said "loot in state feeds the
party's central leadership".
"The BJP tolerates Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as he
feeds the party's central leadership by indulging in corruption,"
leader of the opposition in Gujarat assembly Shakti Sinh Gohil
told reporters here.
Quoting the CAG report tabled in the house Friday after the
opposition was shunted out of the assembly, Gohil said financial
misappropriation by the state government runs into Rs.43,000 crore.
Gohil said while he was suspended by the state government from the
house on the first day of the budget session, his colleagues were
also suspended by the administration later on.
The CAG report he said was tabled in the absence of any opposition
as the Congress had wanted a discussion on it.
Listing the finding of the CAG report, Gohil said the state
government spent Rs.5,000 crore on the Krishna Godavari basin
against the expert advice, supplied gas at below purchase price to
Adani group and committed irregularities in purchase of pulses.
"It is a loot of the treasury," said Gohil adding that the state
Congress would take the issue of uninterrupted corruption during
the Modi rule in the past decade among the masses.
Gujarat assembly polls are slated for November 2012.
AICC general secretary in charge of the state Mohan Prakash asked
the BJP why it disrupts parliament over a CAG report but is silent
on another one which indicts its own government in Gujarat.
