Srinagar: Former president of Jammu and Kashmir unit of Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Ravinder Raina on Saturday said the party possesses “solid evidence” regarding alleged corruption and money taken from government employees for transfers. He urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to provide the opposition party with an opportunity to present the proof.
He said that his party has solid evidence of the allegations.
“Not just one, but a lot of evidence. And certainly, if the government wants, that evidence will be given,” Raina said while talking to reporters here.
He said that he has raised the issue seriously and responsibly and had even requested the Prime Minister to look into the matter.
“I have said this with great seriousness and responsibility. I requested the Honourable Chief Minister and also requested the Prime Minister that there are a large number of people involved in corruption and transfers. Some ministers are also involved,” he said.
Raina said most of the complaints relate to government employees who were allegedly made to pay money for transfers. “I hope that the Honourable Chief Minister will give us a chance and we will present all the evidence regarding where and from whom the money was taken,” he said.
The BJP leader said he and his party have always worked honestly and responsibly. “We have worked with great honesty and integrity all our lives. We do not make false allegations. Sometimes baseless allegations are made in politics, but we don’t indulge in falsehood,” he said.
