RAIPUR: Raising a bizarre case, opposition BJP legislators on Friday alleged in the Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha that a done-up old statue of Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi was erected at the state secretariat showing it as a brand new one.
Alleging corruption even in installation of Mahatma Statue, opposition pressed for a debate on their notice for adjournment motion leading to noisy scenes and abrupt adjournment of the house for five minutes.
Raising the issue during the zero hour, Brijmohan Agrawal (BJP) said “a statue of Mahatma Gandhi was erected at the Mantralaya. It was an old and broken statue, which was repaired and given a facelift. The department passed it off as a new one and incurred expenditure on it and even got it unveiled by the chief minister”. He demanded a debate on the opposition notice for adjournment on the issue.
