Nirupam demands case of forgery against Maharashtra minister
Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam on Friday demanded that a case of forgery be registered against Maharashtra Cooperation Minister Subhash Deshmukh.
The Congress has accused the minister of forging documents and fabricating permissions to get a contract for Lokmangal Multistate Co-operative Society's milk processing plant in Solapur.
The Co-operative Society has been founded by Deshmukh, a BJP leader. He has denied the allegations in the past.
The state Dairy Development Department said Thursday that a Rs 24 crore contract granted to the plant has been scrapped.
Nirupam wrote to Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, demanding that a case of forgery be registered against Deshmukh and he should be sacked immediately.
