Bhopal, June 22, 2012 (HMNS): Opposition
Congress is all set to force the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh to 'do a lot
of explaining' during the upcoming monsoon session of the Assembly next month
over the alleged favours showed to firms of two businessmen, who are now under
Income Tax scrutiny for suspected tax evasion.
"The issue had figured in
the Assembly last year during the no-confidence motion but the government
evaded replying to these charges. Now the issue would be raised again in the
House in the light of IT raids and the BJP will have to do a lot of explaining
this time", Congress Legislature Party (CLP) sources said.
IT sleuths had swooped down on
the firms of two businessmen Dilip Suryavanshi and Sudhir Sharma and their
associates on Wednesday and searched 60 places to detect alleged tax evasion.
Both are known for having close connections with top BJP leaders, within the
government as well as in the party organisation and their businesses had
allegedly flourished during the last couple of years during the BJP regime.
Meanwhile, in a move that could
leave the BJP red faced, state Janata Dal (U), an ally of the BJP in the
National Democratic Alliance ( NDA), has come out in the open demanding that
the state government should come out with a 'white paper' on contracts, leases
and other benefits granted to the firms owned by these businessmen.
State Janata Dal (U) president
Govind Yadav said these IT search have now brought to focus the alleged nexus
between politicians, contractors and even bureaucrats, who had apparently went
out of the way to extend benefits to the firms. "We demand a probe into
all business deals of these two firms", he said adding that any mining
leases granted to those associated with these firms needs to be probed by CBI.
