Maharashtra govt partially accepts Adarsh report, gives clean chit to politicos

Mumbai: Nudged by Rahul Gandhi, Maharashtra government today partially accepted the Adarsh scam judicial panel report and announced action against indicted bureaucrats but gave a clean chit to politicians barring former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan,



“Evidence clearly indicates that it is neither ideal (Adarsh) nor role model but a bad precedent. Adarsh is a saga of ideal co-operation but it is a shameless tale of blatant violations of statutory provisions, rule and regulations,” the report said.

It expressed “deep regret” over the “greed, nepotism and favouritism” involved in the scam.

“It reflects greed, nepotism and favouritism on part of people who were in one way or the other associated with Adarsh. It is sad story of unscrupulous greed of some persons closely connected with the society.

“Some persons not satisfied with the allotment of one single flat have tried and succeeded in securing flats for their nears and dear ones. They went to the extent of benami transactions in violation of provisions. That such an episode should take place in Maharashtra is a matter of deep regret,” it had said.
