As soon as the grip of CBI and ED investigation agencies loosened, the full arrogance of former cabinet minister Dr. Harak Singh Rawat has also started showing. In a very strong style, he made a sensational disclosure that BJP made FD of 30 crores in the bank with the money of mining mafia. This video of Dr. Rawat is becoming very viral on social media. In this video, he is also raising serious questions on the mining policy of the state government. Just a day ago, he claimed to have got a clean chit in the investigation of CBI and ED and after that he attacked the ruling BJP in front of media persons in Congress Bhawan. In the viral video, Dr. Rawat is saying, I tell the truth, I have also given one crore rupees in the FD of 30 crores made to run the BJP. I was the Forest Minister at that time. I also gave money by getting it from the mining mafia.
I say I should also be investigated…
I am also at fault, I say I should also be investigated. He does not stop here. He says, if ED honestly investigates who all have given money in the FD of Rs 30 crore, the entire BJP will be in jail. When I was the Forest Minister, I went to Ramnagar and Haldwani and told the mining contractors to bring cheques of Rs 10 lakh each. Harak says that the BJP government is beating its own drum on mining, but the allocation of mining leases is not right. He says that there is loot in the name of distributing mining leases in Udham Singh Nagar. He further says that he is not against mining. Mining should happen but in a technical way. The surrounding settlements should not be harmed. He compared the allocation of mining leases to the alleged land allocation in Rishikesh during the time of former CM Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank. He said that if ED investigates the allocation of mining leases, the government will also be in jail.
