Congress General Secretary, Uttar Pradesh East, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra while addressing a press conference has alleged said the probe ordered by the Uttar Pradesh government into the Ayodhya land ”scam” was an eyewash and demanded intervention of the Supreme Court.
She said the Supreme Court should take suo motu cognizance of the matter and intervene as the Ram temple in Ayodhya is being built following its order. Targeting the ruling BJP, she alleged that its leaders were committing ”loot” and hurting people’s faith.
The probe to be conducted by district officials is an eyewash, she said. Gandhi said almost every household in the country has donated something to the Ram Mandir Trust.
“A door-to-door campaign was held too. It is a matter of devotion and that is being toyed with. The pieces of land of Dalits, which could not have been purchased, were grabbed,” Gandhi said.
“Some pieces of land were of a lower value and were sold to the Trust at a very high price. It means that there is a scam regarding the money which was collected through the donation,” she added.
Escalating her attack on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government, the Congress general secretary said the matter is being probed at the level of district officers.
“The UP government said that they are ordering an inquiry. Who is probing it?…It is being probed at the level of district officers. Ram Mandir Trust was formed on basis of the Supreme Court verdict. So, it should be probed by SC,” she told a press conference, ANI reported.
It’s the moral responsibility of UP CM Yogi Adityanath and PM Narendra Modi to keep the funds free from corruption. Everyone, including poor people, has given funds for this, keeping their faith, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was quoted as saying by ANI
