PUNE: Congress today
targeted the ruling BJP for
inducting what it said a "MCOCA accused"
in the party fold in Pune district,
ahead of upcoming elections to Zilla Parishads.
In a statement issued, state unit Congress spokesman Sachin Sawant said
the BJP by admitting
Vitthal Shelar in the party has proved that its talks on "morality and
probity" in public life are hollow.
Shelar joined BJP at a
function held in Mawal taluka in Pune district
last week, in the presence of BJP MLA and district
Guardian Minister Girish Bapat. A BJP leader
in Pune today said
it was difficult for the party to check antecedents of each and every
individual joining them as scores of people are coming to the party fold. However,
he said the party will look into this matter.
Meanwhile, Congress said
the BJP's "conduct" is becoming unsuitable for the party in
power. "By inducting Shelar who was arrested under MCOCA and out on
bail, the BJP which boasts
of morality and probity in public life has exposed itself," Sawant
stated.
He criticised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for not acting
against "tainted" ministers. "State BJP president
Raosaheb Danve publicly asks voters to accept money before casting their vote.
There are 21 ministers who face various allegations of irregularities. Still,
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis gives them a clean chit and also inducts
various anti-social elements in the party. When exposed the BJP leaders
speak untruth," Sawant stated. He alleged that a large chunk of cash was seized from the BJP leaders post
demonetisation.
