Haryana Finance Minister Capt Abhimanyu today dismissed the allegations levelled against him by Congress MLA Karan Dalal as "false, baseless and intended to cause mischief and hurt."
The Minister warned that he would file a defamation case against the Congress MLA if he did not desist from making such allegations.
The minister said he was an honest politician and believed in serving the people in right earnest in keeping with the credo of the BJP Government, a press release quoted him as saying.
Dalal is making allegations just to stay in the news, he said.
Capt Abhimanyu claimed the BJP Government did not indulge in any kind of favouritism or nepotism during its 22-month regime and had followed the policy of zero tolerance towards corruption.
"As leaders like Dalal cannot digest this and do not have any issue to rake up or level any charge against the government, they are now levelling allegations on individuals which are divorced from truth", he added.
A privilege motion have been passed against the MLA in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha for this very reason", the minister said.
"Since the BJP came to power, there has been no instance of any member of his family receiving any kind of benefits, as alleged by Dalal.
"Politics and business are separate topics for him, and his businesses are being run by members of his family while remaining within the limits of law," he said.
Dalal knows neither the law nor decorum, and he should better seek legal recourse if he feels that some illegal activity is being carried out, he added.
