And while Digvijay demands resignation
5 Oct 2012 12:56 AM GMT
Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Thursday demanded resignation of Nitin Gadkari as BJP President in the wake of a letter written by him to Centre seeking release of funds for an irrigation project in Maharashtra, in which an associate of his is said to be a contractor.
‘Yes,’ replied Singh when asked whether he has made the demand for resignation of Gadkari.
Singh, against whom Gadkari had issued a legal notice over allegations related to coal scam, was quick to latch on the issue and describe the BJP chief as ‘more of a businessman than a politician.’
‘It is clear that he [Gadkari] was interested in contractors getting their money which they don’t deserve,’ he alleged.
The Gosikhurd project is embroiled in an alleged scam involving NCP leader Ajit Pawar who quit recently in the wake of charges of corruption on which the BJP had mounted a big campaign.
