 "Court adjourns Virbhadra Singh disproportionate assets matter till April 20")
The Patiala House Court on Monday adjourned the disproportionate assets case involving Himachal Pradesh chief Minister Virbhadra Singh till April 20.
The court was to take cogniganze of the chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Singh in the case.
A day after being booked by the CBI special court in the case, the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister had accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of conspiring against him and asserted that all charges levelled against him were fabricated.
"The fight has just begun and I know the truth will prevail. All cases against me are fabricated. This is a conspiracy against me stitched by some BJP leaders like Prem Kumar Dhumal and Anurag Thakur. The BJP is misusing its power. There's no truth in it," said Singh.
He also said the case against him is a 'political vendetta' and added that he was ready to face the charges registered against him.
