CHANDIGARH, April 26: A R Dahiya, a director of Polo Hotels Limited, which owns the North Park resort near Panchkula, has charged the former Haryana chief ministers Bhajan Lal and Om Parkash Chautala of making false statements regarding the ownership of the resort.
In a statement issued here today, Dahiya has threatened them of legal action if they do not refrain from making such statements.
Dahiya, who is a close aide of Bansi Lal, said that the name of Bansi Lal had been quot;unnecessarilyquot; dragged to defame and harm him politically. He added that North Park was owned by Polo Hotels, of which Vikas Garg, a close friend of Dahiya8217;s son Amardeep Singh, was the managing director.
He added that the approval for the construction on the hotel was accorded during the regime of Devi Lal and its construction was done during Bhajan Lal8217;s regime. A bar licence to it was first granted in 1996 by the Bhajan Lal regime and now after prohibition it is one of the many resorts in Haryana which has been granted a bar licence. Since the hotel was running in losses, Dahiya said he joined as director in view of his vast business experience.
