New Delhi: Attacking the Nitish Kumar Government in Bihar over the Srijan scam, which pertained to “shadow investments” by the Srijan NGO of the amount meant to be distributed to the underprivileged, the Congress today urged the Supreme court to take suo moto cognizance of the matter for a probe to be monitored by the apex court and the resignation of Mr Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi to ensure an impartial probe in the matter.
Talking to reporters here, AICC spokesperson Manish Tewari said that the Supreme Court should also probe the mysterious deaths of the main accused in the various scams in the BJP ruled states like the Vyapam Scam and the Srijan scam.
Alleging the involvement of several leaders of the BJP and the JD-U in Bihar in the scam, Mr Tewari, who addressed the press conference along with AICC spokesperson Ajoy Kumar, said,’it just a coincidence that most people involved are either close to BJP or JDU? If Nitish-Kumar-Sushil Modi Govt didn’t know anything about it how were people from BJP and JDU background involved? ‘ Terming the CBI probe ordered by the Bihar Government as a ‘sham’, Mr Tewari demanded a probe monitored by the Supreme court and resignation of Mr Nitish Kumar and Mr Sushil Modi to ensure an impartial probe into the matter.
‘The Congress demands a fair probe in entire matter.
The way CBI is being misused by the BJP Government, only a Supreme Court monitored investigation can bring out the truth in the case.
