CPIML Bihar State Secretary Kunal said in a statement on 29 June 2020 that the charge-sheet filed by the CBI in the Srijan scam that happened under the BJP-JDU regime is unsatisfactory as efforts are still on to protect the big fish. The smoking gun points to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Sushil Modi and they should also be brought within the ambit of the probe.
This mega scam is possibly Bihar’s biggest scam till date and it has been done right under the nose of the powers that be; therefore the truth can never come out unless the political protection of the scam is also probed.
The so-called ‘man who exposes scams’, Sushil Modi, has been in charge of the Finance Ministry for a long period of time. Many of his close relatives are implicated in this scam. The picture of several BJP leaders with Manorama Devi has gone viral. Nitish Kumar and Sushil Modi cannot escape from accountability in this matter.
Sushil Modi must answer the question: what was he doing while the government coffers were being looted for such a long period?
Lalu Prasad was held accountable for the fodder scam because he held the finance portfolio at the time. This present scam is organized loot amounting to double that in the fodder scam; why should not a case be filed against the Chief Minister and Deputy CM? The big players are deliberately being shielded in this entire mega scam. Crossing all limits of shamelessness, Sushil Modi says that he is happy with the direction of the enquiry. Possibly, he is saying this because the direction of the enquiry is away from him and CBI is assiduously shielding him.
