BJP's Tawde seeks SIT probe into Maharashtra irrigation scam

"If no SIT is appointed, we will not let the house function during the winter session of the legislature, at Nagpur from December 10," Tawde told reporters here.

The white paper on the irrigation scam was a "whitewash", Tawde alleged and sought a SIT probe into all irrigation projects in the state.

"Based on the information we have received from government sources, the white paper seems nothing but a whitewash. We have all the details of the scam," he said.

Stating that the white paper does not seem to have addressed two key issues namely financial irregularities and flawed policy decisions, Tawde said, "The BJP will bring out a 'black paper' on the scam during the winter session."
