MUMBAI: The state BJP on Thursday hit out at the government, saying the white paper on the irrigation scam was a "whitewash". Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis demanded an SIT probe into all irrigation projects in the state. The demand was made during a debate on a news channel.
"Based on the information we have received from government sources, the white paper seems nothing but a whitewash ... We have all the details of the scam," senior BJP leader Vinod Tawde told the media.
Stating that the white paper does not seem to have addressed two key issues—financial irregularities and flawed policy decisions—Tawde said, "The BJP will bring out a 'black paper' on the scam during the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur."
Meanwhile, the newly formed Aam Aadmi Party has also prepared a "black paper" on the irrigation scam, reports PTI. On December 2, Arvind Kejriwal will release the document in Roha, Raigad district, the stronghold of Maharashtra irrigation minister Sunil Tatkare.
