New Delhi: Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan and IOA Committee chairman and MP, Suresh Kalmadi have tendered their resignations to their high posts in the grim shadow of Adarsh Housing skyscraper scandal in Colaba (Mumbai) and Commonwealth Games stadia building lavish scandals of money grabbing and corruption deals.
Both have denied their roles in the Mumbai and Delhi scandals till today. It was Kalmadi who had publicly told that sports activities in India should be run by politicians and officers unconnected with such sports, and has been there in a high post for long years, and now stands condemned and criticised. Chavan has accused the former (twice) CM of Maharashtra and present Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, of starting the Adarsh Housing construction for war widows and those martyred in Kashmir and in wars with Pakistan.
The scandal of seeking flats in the skyscraper embraces Army, Navy and Air chiefs and retired Defense officers, now coming under the gaze of CBI, as ordered by the upright Defense Minister, A.K Antony. There is turmoil in the Defense personnel, both retired and active in service, on the investigation into Adarsh (model) Housing deals by Central Bureau of Investigation to fix the responsibility and punishment for criminal activities. While Chavan goes out under a label of inexperience. Kalmadi is weeded out for his audacious skills of committing economic frauds on Indian people.
