Cong says will probe its Gujarati cell chief’s past

While Chavan had then feigned ignorance of Shah’s chequered past, Shah had confirmed the case against him was still pending.

Shah was charged for disposing of Mehta’s stocks after the infamous scam broke out in 1992 and was questioned by the CBI in the matter.

Mumbai Congress chief Janardan Chandurkar, who had formerly appointed Shah, said, “I was unaware of this when the appointment was made. I have sought information. Appropriate action will be taken.”

Modi, Shah brought political discourse to gutter level: Sharma

Mounting another offensive on Bharatiya Janata Party’s PM candidate Narendra Modi, Congress leader and Union minister Anand Sharma Saturday said that Modi and his close-aide Amit Shah had “brought political discourse in the country to gutter level”. Sharma also reiterated the accusation that massive amount of black money was being spent to prop up Modi’s publicity campaign. “The use of money and resources by the BJP in these elections is unprecedented. At least Rs 10,000 crore is being spent by the party to project one person as a solution to all problems,” he said.
