The farmer leader dares the BJP leader to unravel irregularities in Mumbai District Central Cooperative Bank
Farmer leader and Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana chief Raju Shetti has accused Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya of targeting leaders of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government with ‘political malice’ rather than being genuinely interested in uncovering corruption.
Debunking Mr. Somaiya’s posturing as an impartial anti-corruption crusader, Mr. Shetti dared the BJP leader to unravel irregularities in the Mumbai District Central Cooperative Bank (MDCCB) headed by Mr. Somaiya’s party colleague Pravin Darekar, BJP’s Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council.
The MVA government on Thursday had initiated an inquiry against the MDCCB for alleged irregularities over the last five years. The move is viewed as a retaliatory gesture against the BJP after Mr. Somaiya recently accused Maharashtra Minister and senior NCP leader Hasan Mushrif and his kin of being embroiled in a ₹127-crore money laundering scandal as well of irregularities to the tune of ₹100 crore in a cooperative sugar factory owned by the latter.
