JAMMU: Accusing BJP for registration of false cases against Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain and BJP’s mischievous propaganda and false accusations against Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia, the former minister J&K and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh said the BJP govt is using the vigilante organizations including ED and CBI to intimidate, harass and persecute the opposition.
"The complaints against the ‘corrupt leaders of BJP party’ owing allegiance to the ruling party are summarily rejected while booking the opposition leaders on frivolous charges in a bid to destroy and eliminate all kinds of opposition,” said Harsh Dev Singh while addressing a press conference in Jammu on Wednesday.
Making a vociferous appeal to the Apex Court to constitute a Commission of Inquiry (CoI) against the corrupt MLAs and Ministers who have accumulated huge wealth and disproportionate assets in the last eight years,
Harsh Dev Singh lambasted the govt for having grossly failed to take action against the blemished politicians of BJP who had looted public exchequer, encroached State lands, Forest lands, Municipal and JDA lands and raised mammoth movable and immovable properties in various parts of the State and outside by abusing their position and authority.
He referred that that local media and even erstwhile Governor SP Malik had referred to several scams in the J&K State in insurance contracts, power projects, Forest and Health Departments besides large scale illegitimate back door appointments but the bigwigs continued to enjoy immunity in view of their political clout with no action whatsoever initiated against the corrupt politicians.
“The said Governor ( SP Malik) had claimed that even he was offered a bribe of Rs. 300 crores for clearing two files by corporates and agencies affiliated to BJP. Regretfully no action was imitated against such corrupt leaders or their political affiliates by confining the enquiry to a few inconvenient officers,” lamented Singh.
“And interestingly, the BJP tried to cover up the Roshni scam and also filed a review petition in the High Court after its own MLAs were found involved in the nasty Roshni scandal.”
He also accused the BJP govt of having deliberately abolished the Accountability Commission only to protect its corrupt leaders.
He said that with Lok Pal also having been denied, the ED and CBI were being used by the BJP govt as its allies to browbeat and demolish the opposition.
Urging a judicial probe into the involvement of Ex-MLAs and Ex-Ministers of saffron regime and its allied parties in corrupt deeds, large scale bunglings and other acts of omission and commission, Singh said that until noose was tightened around corrupt politicians, good and clean governance would remain a distant dream.
