In a press statement, Aam Aadmi Party state Co-President & MLA Aman Arora said that the recent E-auctions of sand mining of Punjab have exposed blatant neck deep involvement of cabinet minister Rana Gurjit Singh in multi crore sand mining through Benami transactions in the names of his employees. He said Congress Govt’s pre poll tall claims of Conflict of Interest stands completely exposed as Rana heads Irrigation Portfolio himself.
Arora said that instead of taking any action against Rana Gurjit, government is hell bent upon saving him by appointing a single judge commision to inquire the matter whose proximity to minister’s family is well known. He said that the inquiry is farce, pre-determined and a mere eye wash and does not carry any relevance as the source of money or money trail has been kept out of the purview of the Terms of Reference of the Commission, which further makes it tolally toothless. He said that AAP will continue to struggle till it’s logical conclusion is not met, guilty punished and make sand and gravel affordable to every common man in the state.
Arora said that AAP and Lok Insaaf Party alliance will take the matter of corruption by minister to the streets in case no action is taken by the government. He said that AAP will start demonstrations in coming days in at various place in Punjab.
