CM’s clarification sought on seizure of BSRTC buses in UP by EC

Patna,(BiharTimes): Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee chief Chaudhary Mehboob Ali Quisar on Friday sought chief minister Nitish Kumar’s clarification over the alleged misuse of the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation buses for ferrying people for his election meetings in the Assembly constituencies in east Uttar Pradesh. The Election Commission reportedly seized some of the buses.

The chief minister had, a few days back, addressed several meetings in Uttar Pradesh to seek support for the Janata Dal (United) candidates there.   He took strong exception to Nitish’s remarks that the Prime Minister should feel ashamed over the Supreme Court's verdict on 2G spectrum issue and resign.

The state Congress chief said the CM should read the SC ruling carefully, particularly page numbers 40 to 43 and 80, which throw light on the 'first come first served' spectrum allocation policy adopted by the then National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in 2001. He reminded Nitish that he was railway minister in the then NDA government.

He said the apex court had clearly stated that if Telecom Minister A Raja had heeded the advice of the Prime Minister, then the government would not have suffered such a huge revenue loss.
 
He asked as to why Nitish is not ordering a CBI probe into the irregular withdrawal of money from the government treasury as pointed out by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). Not only that he had not  ordered a judicial probe into the BIADA land allotment issue.
