Maheswar Singh,who led an anti-corruption front against the state government and later formed the Himachal Lokhit Party,was on Wednesday accused of grabbling land at Dhalpur ground and possessing nearly 600 bighas of prime land,illegally regularised by the government during his tenure as an MP.
Rupi Dehat Sudhar Sangarsh Samiti,a Kullu-based voluntary organisation,asked the state government to act on recommendation of Kullu deputy commissioner and cancel illegal land allotments to Singh a scion of the erstwhile Kullu royal family.
Om Prakash Sharma,the president of the body and also a member of Kullu Zila Parishad,said he had been leading the fight against the Kullu royal family since 1984. I have faced setbacks and even been victimised,at the behest of Maheshwar Singh. But I have refused to give up my struggle. I have nothing personal against Maheshwar but my organisation feels morally committed to bring the facts before the public, he said,while admitting that his loyalties lie with the Congress.
Flanked by other members of the body,Sharma displayed revenue documents and information obtained under the RTI on Singhs properties,alleged land encroachment and hefty remunerations that he had received from the government as the chief kardar of Lord Raghunathji a deity worshipped in Kullu.
