MUMBAI: NCP president Sharad Pawar on Tuesday asked PM Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah to probe the Rs 70,000 crore irrigation scam and multi-crore state cooperative bank scam in which Ajit Pawar's name had cropped up.
Pawar said that at a rally in Bhopal, Modi had alleged Congress and NCP were the most corrupt parties and a Rs 70,000 crore scam in the irrigation department and a scam in the Maharashtra State Cooperation Bank had rocked the state.
Asked at a presser about the corruption allegations, Pawar said, "If Modi has specific information that there was abuse of power in the state, then as PM, he must initiate a probe and submit the report.
It will be wrong to make baseless allegations.
You have power, you conduct the probe."
