Congress seeks probe into RSS-Gadkari nexus (26)<br />
NAGPUR: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Manikrao Thakre on Friday said<br />
it was time to unravel possible financial dealings between BJP president Nitin Gadkari and the Rashtriya<br />
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) which had backed him all through his ascendancy as the saffron party chief.<br />
Talking to TOI during his brief halt in the city on way to Mumbai from Yavatmal, Thakre said, "Now that<br />
Gadkari's links with contractors and how they invested money in his company to return favours for the toll<br />
contracts they bagged during his term as PWD minister are out in the open. It will be interesting to find<br />
out if the RSS was also a beneficiary of Gadkari's largesse. "I have in the past raised the demand to<br />
investigate sources of the RSS funding. The Sangh has always claimed that it collects donations through<br />
undisclosed 'guru dakshina' collected at 'shakhas.' But it is unlikely that ordinary swayamsevaks can pay<br />
huge sums to the RSS and there must be big donors. Such donors need to be identified," said Thakre. He<br />
alleged that during the last three years, the RSS has invested heavily in building construction work on its<br />
premises in Nagpur. "It is likely that this investment was a spin-off of the Gadkari-contractor nexus," said<br />
Thakre, stressing the need for a thorough probe into the matter. He said that as per reports in the media,<br />
the contractors who got toll collection work during Gadkari's regime as PWD minister had made<br />
investments to the tune of hundreds of crores in Purti sugar factory run by the BJP president. Thakre also<br />
alleged that Gadkari's Purti Group had managed to acquire defunct sugar mills in Vidarbha at dirt cheap<br />
valuations thanks to some helpful politicians who controlled banks with which the defunct mills' assets<br />
were mortgaged. (Times of India 28/10/12)<br />
