Ind MLA Kundu threatens to withdraw support to govt
ROHTAK: Independent MLA from Meham Balraj Kundu on Sunday threatened to withdraw support to the BJP- JJP government in Haryana if chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar fails to order a probe into allegations of corruption against former cooperatives minister Manish Grover within a month.
Talking to reporters here, Kundu said he had demanded inquiry against Grover for allegedly allotting development projects in Rohtak to his relatives and favourite contractors by ignoring rules and regulations.
He alleged that Grover was also responsible for largescale irregularities in sugar mills across the state during his tenure as cooperatives minister.
Meanwhile, Grover was not available for his comments despite repeated phone calls by HT.
PROTESTS CHEATING CASE AGAINST HIM
Meanwhile, a high-voltage drama was witnessed outside the Civil Lines police station here after Kundu reached there with hundreds of his supporters to offer his arrest in the cheating case registered against him and his Shiv Raj Kundu on Saturday.
Alleging that the case is false, Kundu staged a dharna for nearly three hours outside the police station and dared the police to arrest him.
“The police had booked me in a false case due to political pressure and Grover is exhorting pressure on administration to implicate me in a false case,” he added. Rohtak superintendent of police (SP) Rahul Sharma later reached the police station and pacified agitated supporters of
Kundu. He has assured the MLA that a fair investigation will be carried out into the case registered against him.
