New Delhi/Mumbai: BJP today hit out at the Maharashtra Cabinet accusing it of trying to bury the truth in the Adarsh Housing scam in the manner the JPC allegedly did in the 2G spectrum scam and targeted Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan.
“The JPC buried the 2G scandal. The Maharashtra Cabinet buries the Adarsh fraud. (But) Can truth be ever buried?” Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said on Twitter.
Jaitley's comment came after the Cabinet of the Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra rejected the report of a judicial commission, which was probing the Adarsh scam that had led to the resignation of then Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in 2010.
Ashok Chavan's predecessors, late Vilasrao Deshmukh and Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, were questioned by the judicial commission in the case.
In the 2G spectrum case, BJP has alleged Congress altered the report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee(JPC) on the scam by removing portions of the dissent note filed by its party members. They had written to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar asking her not to accept the report.
