War of words between BJP leader and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar over allegation of corruption in Sugar Factory

Taking a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar alleged that at a time when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was ruling the state of Maharashtra, that time too the sugar factories which were sold to private firms were sold from 3 core to 8 crores, but then nobody questioned them. Further, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated that the Jarendeshwar Cooperative Sugar Factory was auctioned with following all necessary rules. 

 

This response came after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and his firm are being alleged of irregularities in the Jarandeshwar cooperative sugar factory deal. Pawar also stated that the results of all these cases in four courts were in his favor. “The Bombay High Court also has asked for an investigation and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also examining this, and soon the truth will come out,” stated Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. 

 

Further, he stated that the auction of Jarandeshwar sugar factory was with due permission and under the order of the court after the management was not able to repay the debts even when they were given two chances, so a special leave petition registered against the auction was taken down by the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court. Though the probe is going on the investigative agencies who probed into this matter earlier didn’t find anything. He stated that many factories were sold at the time of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruling the state of Maharashtra but why  weren’t they questioned about it?

 

Responding to this Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya who alleged Pawar of this, stated that “The people of Maharashtra are being misguided by the Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, he didn’t even answer the questions which we had asked. We are not opposing the auction of factories but we just raised questions on corruption involved in these practices.”
