“White Paper” on Irrigation scam is Eyewash attempt to save Ajit
Pawar and Sunil Tatkare :Vidarbha Farm widows to burn copies of “White Paper”
Most awaited ‘white Paper’ on
irrigation massive scam in which ministers floated rules to siphoned our
Rs.50,000 crore money spent on irrigation project has turned out to be another
hoax and now it’s hostile attempt on Mahrashtra Govt. to protect involved
ministers Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare and
give them clean chit as white paper has been salient on these issues raised by
media, activist and senior irrigation officials who has raised serious
questions on the functioning of these ministers which has forced Ajit pawar to
step down as Dy.Chief Minister of Maharashtra ,will have very serious
implication over creditability of Maharashtra CM, alleged Vidarbha farmers
pressure group Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti
president Kishore Tiwari urging the Indian prime minister to initiate
the action .
“It was expected when media
exposed the corruption followed by activist and opposition, Maharashtra Govt.
managed to give impression that truth of massive Rs.50,000 crore irrigation
scam will be placed before the nation and ministers and Babus involved in
corruption will have to face prosecution but web copy of white paper disappointed us that there is
baseless data has discussed but nothing about the scam and fixing of it’s
accountability is even referred hence this is bankrupt attempt of
administration to cover up the historic scam which is directly related massive
farmers genocide amounting more than 30,000 in last decade as per NCRB report
in Maharashtra .we will protest the Govt. move and will start agitation against
Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare till they
jailed ,hundreds of farm widows who are victims of vidarbha agrarian crisis
will burn the copy of this fabricated ‘white paper’ on 11th December
and will distribute “Black Paper” irrigation
scam in which NCP ministers and Ajit Pawar, directly involved ,we will atke
this issue to it’s logical conclusion” Tiwari added.
When Prime Minister Dr.Man
Mohansingh declared Rs.3750 crore on 1st July 2006 at Nagpur a
special vidarbha relief package in which he e more than Rs.2800 crore for
increasing irrigation facility in order to stop on going farmer suicides
promising more fund flow for completing all pending irrigation projects of
vidarbha ,it was never thought that even Rs.30,000 crore given for irrigation
project will be siphoned out and condition as per irrigation facilities are
concerned are more worst in 2012 than 2006 ,thanks to the super power minister
of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare resulting more than 7116 vidrabha
farmers suicides after July 2006 which
case of mass genocide of vidarbha farmers inviting criminal prosecution of Ajit
Pawar and Sunil Tatkare ,Tiwari said
‘In fact irrigation Vidarbha for
years suffered neglect under irrigation department run by western Maharashtra
politicians but irrigation scam of
state's deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar who was state's irrigation minister
from 1999 to 2009 and also ex-officio chairman of VIDC and then Sunil
Tatkare is massive one as 38 ongoing irrigation schemes by increasing
their estimated costs by over four times to Rs 26,722.23 crore from the
original Rs 6672.27 crore. This happened in a single year - 2009 - with a
majority of approvals given in three months, between June and August, just a
couple of months before the state elections by going out of the way to favour a group of
contractors that included Rajya Sabha member Ajay Sancheti, Sancheti who has a
major stake in irrigation business is reported to be also close to Pawar. A
group of contractors including Sancheti, Avinash Bhosle of Pune who was named
in CIDCO land scam and Yavatmal MLC Sandip Bajoria ,MLC Mitesh Bangadiya, a contractor are among the chosen few
to have got mobilization advance even though there was no such clause in
original tender document. It is highly shocking MP Ajay Sancheti
circumvented the rules to bag contracts hence we demand criminal action against
all are involved in this irrigation scam amounting more tha Rs.30,000 crore’
Kishore Tiwari added.
‘if money given for these
irrigation project ,debt trapped and distressed vidarbha farmer would have been
benefited and farmer suicides would have been stopped but all money to increase
irrigation facility has taken away by these minister who are the killer of
these vidarbha farmers hence criminal action against these ministers and
contractors is must’ Tiwari added .
