JAMMU, Mar 21: National Convenor of BJP Scams Committee and former MP Dr Kirit Somaiya, attended a meeting of the State BJP Scams Committee during his visit to Jammu, which was presided over by BJP State president Jugal Kishore Sharma in presence of State general secretary (Org.) Ashok Koul.
The meeting convened by Dr Jitendra Singh, BJP State chief spokesperson was attended by Chander Prakash Ganga, Chander Mohan Sharma, Bansi Lal Bharti, Sat Sharma (CA), Balbir Ram, Parmodh Kapahi and Rajinder Sharma.
Jugal Kishore Sharma assured Somaiya of his full cooperation for exposing corruption and scams in the State.
He said the Coalition Government in the State has crossed all limits of corruption. Ministers are openly involved in land encroachments and money is being exchanged for Government appointments and postings, he alleged.
Kirit Somaiya gave a resume of the Anti-Scam Committee at All India level as well as in J&K. He referred to new breakthroughs in the investigations into Srinagar Airport land scam. Somaiya suggested that a time deadline be fixed to uncover some of the notorious corruption scams in J&K.
Dr Jitendra Singh informed that investigation was already complete on some of the scams like NRHM involving fallacious purchase of ASHA kits. There was a direct link of this scam with NRHM scam in other States like Rajasthan where discrepancies had been found in the purchase of Ambulances. Dr Jitendra Singh said that besides the Srinagar land scam, other major scams of the State included Tawi land scam, MGNREGA and JKCA scam.
