22 Jul 2015 Evaluate

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claimed it had proof of Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat's involvement in liquour scam and loot during the devastating 2013 floods. BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman said that the Uttarakhand CM and his Personal Secretary were involved in liquor scam and loot during Uttarakhand floods. They have a video proof which shows involvement of Uttarakhand CM and his powerful close confidante in the scam.

Rawat had earlier ordered an inquiry into the flood relief scam, adding that strict action would be initiated against those responsible. During the disaster in Uttarakhand, when lakhs of people went hungry, officials of the state government were busy utilizing the Rs 7000 per day allowance given to them for supervising relief efforts. When the state was struggling for two meals in a day, the officials had a normal day diet of mutton chops, chicken, milk and cottage cheese. An RTI reply has revealed a scam in the allowance claims made by the officials involved in the rescue and relief works.
