BJP raises corruption charge in Parliament, seeks Anil Deshmukh’s sacking
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has upped the ante in opposition to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) authorities in Maharashtra over corruption prices involving Home Minister and NCP chief Anil Deshmukh. Raising the problem in the Lok Sabha, Party MPs from Maharashtra demanded from Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to sack Anil Deshmukh.
Former Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh set off a significant row on Saturday when he alleged that Deshmukh had requested suspended Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze, who has been arrested in the SUV case and is in NIA custody, to gather Rs 100 crore from Mumbai’s eating places, bars and hookah bars.
BJP MP Rakesh Singh stated tha that is the primary incident of the nation the place the Chief Minister holds a press convention in help of the Assistant Police Inspector (API) who was given a “target of Rs 100 crore”.
“He (CM) says that he is the best Police personnel in the country. How does this happen?” he requested in the Lok Sabha.
Independent MP Navneet Ravi Rana questioned on what foundation Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray reinstated Vaze.
“On what basis was a man suspended for 16 years and jailed, reinstated? When there was BJP government, Uddhav Thackeray himself had called up Devendra Fadnavis for reinstating Sachin Waze, Fadnavis had refused. When Thackeray government came, they reinstated him,” Rana, a Lok Sabha MP from Amravati, stated.
In the Rajya Sabha, treasury bench members raised the Maharashtra problem with Deputy Chairman Harivansh, who was in the Chair, asking them to permit the proceedings. Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar raised the Maharashtra problem referring to the alleged corruption in the state.
Singh, who was transferred to the low-key Home Guards on March 17 following the arrest of Vaze in the Antilia case, in a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had claimed that he was made a scapegoat. In the eight-page letter, Singh had alleged that Deshmukh used to name cops to his official residence and provides them a “collection target” from bars, eating places and different institutions.
