"All these have been done to allot plot to people associated with RJD and cover up past misdeeds in the co-operative," Sushil Modi, a former Deputy Chief Minister of the state, said.
He demanded Chief Minister Nitish Kumar immediately dissolve the co-operative and appoint an Administrator in the body.
He also urged the CM to make public all documents related to allotment of plot under the co-operative public.
The senior BJP leader asked the incumbent President of MLA Co-operative to release list of all the beneficiaries.
"He shall make public to how many people plot has been alloted despite having house in Patna and how many have been given more than one plot in violation of rules," he demanded.
Sushil Modi, who is leader of opposition in the state Legislative Council, said as per the 2015 voters list of 663 members MLA Housing Cooperative, his name figures at 384 position "but I have never been invited for the meeting or informed about its election."
