Nothing illegal in Purti: Gurumurthy
16 Nov 2012 4:43 AM IST
Financial analyst S. Gurumurthy, who is considered close to the RSS, has reaffirmed that he found no wrongdoing by BJP president Nitin Gadkari in documents related to a company linked to him and accused the media of giving political colour to the issue.
In a letter to Gadkari, Gurumurthy said he wished to formally place on record his views expressed at the BJP core committee meeting 6 Nov which had led the party to give a virtual clean chit to the party chief.
Gadkari is facing a probe over allegations about financial transactions of companies that invested in the Purti Group.
‘At the meeting of the core committee, on my investigation of the Purti documents, I had clearly said that you had not done any wrongdoing morally or legally,’ Gurumurthy wrote in the letter released by the BJP.
‘I reiterate that on my investigation, I have found and written in my columns in the New Indian Express that there is no wrongdoing by you morally or legally in the Purti matter,’ the letter added.
Gurumurthy said he had ‘professionally examined the Purti papers’ and expressed his professional views.
