Liquor scam: Marandi slams ACB probe, seeks CBI investigation
Ranchi: State BJP president Babulal Marandi on Thursday said he was concerned over the attempts being made by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to weaken the Rs 38 crore liquor scam case in Jharkhand. Terming the ACB arrests as sham, he reiterated his demand for a CBI probe to conduct an impartial investigation in the case. Days after former excise secretary Vinay Kumar Choubey and two others were granted bail after the ACB failed to file a charge sheet within 90 days, Marandi wrote to chief minister Hemant Soren saying that his suspicions that the arrests were merely an attempt to deceive the public and protect the key conspirators were proving to be true. Criticising the ACB for failing to file a charge sheet in the case, the former CM claimed that the agency did not record the statements of the accused during questioning, allowing the investigating officers to record statements as they see fit, potentially implicating or exonerating individuals at will. "I have come to know that the interrogation of none of the arrested officers has been recorded so that the investigating officer can record the statement that suits him, trap whoever he wants, and save whoever he wants," the letter said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it Undo Questioning Soren's role in the scam, Marandi said he should act against the officers without delay.

Yogi pays tribute to Kalyan Singh in Aligarh on 4th death anniv
Agra: On the occasion of the fourth death anniversary of former chief minister Kalyan Singh 'Babuji' and third Hindu Pride Day, UP CM Yogi Adityanath and other BJP leaders paid tribute to the late leader at a programme held at Talanagri in Aligarh on Thursday. Remembering his legacy as a leader who shaped the state's political and social direction, Adityanath said the foundation of governance, security and development visible in the state today was laid by Babuji. A medical college and a super-specialty cancer hospital in Bulandshahr have been named after him, and his statue has also been installed. Babuji's journey from a teacher, RSS worker, BJP activist to the state's chief minister remains inspirational, Yogi said. Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, senior BJP leaders Kalraj Mishra, Uma Bharti, deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, state BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary and programme organiser Rajveer Singh also paid floral tributes. These leaders described Babuji as a symbol of nationalism, social harmony and Hindutva. Several veterans recalled Babuji's style of governance —running the state without riots or bias, strengthening social engineering, refusing to fire on Ram devotees in 1992, and even resigning from the CM's post to uphold his pledge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 25 of the Best Cities to Live In Learn More Undo Leaders, including Vinay Katiyar, Swami Sakshi Maharaj, and others remembered him as "Hindu Hriday Samrat" and a statesman who continues to inspire. Defence minister Rajnath Singh joined digitally to offer his respects. The programme concluded with a short film on Babuji's life and contributions. Earlier in the day, Adityanath was in Etah to inaugurate a cement plant developed by Shree Cement at a cost of Rs 750 crore. He said this plant will provide employment to 500 people directly and 3,000 people indirectly. The unit will process fly ash from the nearby Jawaharpur Thermal Power Plant, and a 40 MW solar power capacity has also been installed. Addressing the gathering in Etah, Adityanath launched a scathing attack on opposition parties, holding them responsible for "destroying the image of India and Uttar Pradesh". "During Congress and Samajwadi Party regimes, criminal activities surged, women faced increasing threats to their safety and traders received no meaningful benefits. Historically, the Mughals looted India, followed by the British, and later Congress and Samajwadi Party regimes caused further devastation. In the 1960s, India was the world's 6th largest economy, but by 2014, it slipped to 11th. Since 2014, under the leadership of PM Modi, through dedicated efforts and strategic policies, India has risen to become the 4th largest economy globally," Adityanath said. Speaking about the state's development, Adityanath said, "Uttar Pradesh, under eight years of BJP's double-engine govt, has transformed remarkably. Before 2017, UP ranked seventh among Indian states; today, it proudly stands as the 2nd-ranked state." "When govt's policies are clear and their intentions are clean, and there is a will to work under the policy of zero tolerance for crime and criminals, the results of developments are visible like the one we are seeing right now in Etah. Eight to nine years ago, Etah was dominated by mafia and criminals, under the protection of ruling powers, they encroached upon the lands of the poor. Under Congress's rule, people could not build homes; they had to buy cement discreetly. Whether it's Congress or the Samajwadi Party, their vision differs from PM Modi's 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'; they have a rigid vision. They wanted everyone's support, but for the development of their own families," Adityanath added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
