Allotment of prime land here by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government to a trust backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at throwaway prices has raised several eyebrows.
While an advocate, Sushil Kumar Sharma, has filed in the Rajasthan High Court public interest litigation (PIL) urging the cancellation of the land deal to the Deen Dayal Trust, the opposition Congress party has called for an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is also said to be a member of the trust, which has reportedly been allotted over 7,000 sq metres of land at highly concessional rates.
The land, situated in the heart of the Rajasthan capital, is about a kilometre away from the chief ministers residence. It was allegedly allotted for Rs.4.4 million or around Rs.629 per sq metres as against the prevailing market price of over Rs.40,000 per sq metre.
We want a CBI enquiry into this land deal. It seems like the mother of all scams. The land was allotted in July this year and the trust was constituted in August this year, said Param Navdeep, spokesperson of the state Congress.
Said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi: The land deal is in gross violation of the rules.
