5 Dec 2012 5:54 AM IST
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday questioned honesty of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and him being called 'vikash purush'. He also said that both Modi and Congress were joint business partners and they would not target each other as he has given largesse to them.
Kejriwal accused Modi of favouring Gujarat-based Adani group on land allotment and power purchase. He also alleged Modi giving gas fields worth 20,000 crores to private companies for free.
Addressing a press-con with Prashant Bhushan, they targetted Modi for allegedly allowing Adanis to walk away with coal blocks without supplying power at cheaper rates as per agreements. They also accused Modi of allocating prime land in Gandhi Nagar for MPs and MLAs who in turn sold it at higher prices and of land allocation to Adanis at throwaway prices while asking eight times the market price when Air Force approached his govt.
Kejriwal said that Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation was allocated gas fields worth around Rs one lakh crore in KG Basin and Modi allegedly gave 10% each of the fields to a Canadian and an Indian company completely free of cost with any bidding. He alleged that the Canadian company was set up by a Canadian with just USD 64 (Rs 3,200) and within six days of forming the company, Modi gave him 10% stake saying they will provide technical expertise.
