Congress Minister gets Rs 100-crore Maharashtra land for cheap
It seems the Congress and the scams are the two sides of the same coin. From 2G to coalgate to Adarsh housing society yet comes another scam as activists raised serious objections after documents showed Government used 1976 rates to sell the prime land in Mumbai suburb in 2008 to Congress MP Rajiv Shukla’s BAG Films Education Society.
According to Mumbai Mirror report, a recently released data revealed that 2,821-sq-m Government owned plot in Andheri Which was primarily reserved for School, was sold to BAG Films Education Society (BFES) for Rs 98,735 in 2008.
Several activists have slammed the Government after procuring relevant documents which reveals that current market value of the two plots – located near Andheri’s Country Club is staggering Rs 100 crore.
“It is obvious that the plot went to a particular institution because of the people involved in it. What is astounding is that allotment was done as per 1976 rates. Moreover, if the state was so keen on starting a school there, they should have invited reputed institutions with several years of experience. The allotment is nothing but a scam and we have already urged the district collector and chief minister’s office to conduct a thorough inquiry. Until the inquiry is completed, the allotments should stand cancelled,” said Ashoke Pandit, convenor of Save Open Spaces, an NGO.
