Jogi demands scalp of Raman Singh in Panama papers case

 

Q83D

New Delhi: Breakaway Congress leader Ajit Jogi has demanded Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh be sacked along with his son and Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Singh in the Panama papers case.

He also urged that former finance minister P Chidambaram's son Karti be probed for his alleged role in securing Foreign Investment Promotion Board's approval for a media company owned by BJD MP Baijayant Panda.

Jogi claimed Raman Singh and his son had parked billions "looted through corruption" in Chhattisgarh in bogus companies abroad.

He said a Chhattisgarh industrialist, Kamal Kishore Sarda, was linked to Singh in the stashing of ill-gotten wealth abroad, and his company mentioned in Panama papers shared the same address as the CM's.

"Raman Singh was not confident of returning to power in 2008 and he set up bogus companies to park the ill-gotten wealth," Jogi said, narrating why the companies were set up during that period.
