Chandigarh : Controverial senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka yesterday contested Haryana government's claim that his tenure as chief of the Haryana Seed Development Corporation had seen a drop in profits, saying he had “consciously stopped cheating” other agencies.
Khemka was the Managing Director of Haryana Seed Development Corporation (HSDC) from October 15, 2012 to April 4, 2013. He was transferred to HSDC after he, as the Special Collector, land acquisition, cancelled the mutation of the land deal between UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra and real estate major DLF.
“....the main reason for the profit during the year 2012-13 is an abnormal increase in the market rates of guar seed, which was sold by HSDC during May 2012, when Vikas Yadav was the Managing Director, HSDC,” an official release said.
