MLC ANIL PARAB ACCUSES RAMDAS KADAM, SONS OF LAND SCAM
MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab alleged on Tuesday that former minister and Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam, along with his two sons, were engaged in land scams. Parab claimed that they had received government compensation by falsely presenting ownership of more land than they possessed. He also challenged BJP leader Kirit Somaiya to address these allegations.
“Ramdas Kadam and his two sons MLA Yogesh Kadam and Siddhesh Kadam who is now chairman of Maharashtra Pollution Control Board were involved inland scams in Kokan. In one such scam, Yogesh Kadam and Siddhesh Kadam had a land parcel with an area of 15 guntha (1 guntha is 1089 square feet) in their name in the village Jamburde in Khed tehsil. But they collected the compensation for the 18.5 guntha lands from the government by showing that land was taken by the government for road purposes. Later these two brothers applied to the Raigad administration to get the Non-agricultural certificate for the 33 guntha for the same land parcel. I have all the papers regarding the scam and It should be investigated.” said Parab in a press conference.
Parab accused Ramdas Kadam of acquiring 1600 square meters of land in Khed City by concealing its green zone reservation, allegedly with the help of corrupt officials. Kadam purportedly obtained approvals to transfer the plot for healthcare services through his organization, Shiv Tej.
Parab questioned how construction was initiated in 2014 if the green zone reservation was lifted in 2018 when Kadam served as environment minister. He claimed that the land also falls within a flood line. Parab stated he has over 12 cases of alleged scams involving Kadam and his sons, challenging Kirit Somaiya to investigate.
Kadam, in response, threatened to file a defamation case against Parab, alleging the accusations were fabricated to divert attention from Parab’s involvement in an illegal construction case.
