Ranchi: The NDA on Sunday claimed that
there were more backroom players in the multi-crore hawala and
illegal investments allegedly made by former Chief Minister,
Madhu Koda and pledged to constitute a special probe panel if
the alliance is voted to power in Jharkhand.
"There are many directors and producers behind the
episode. Congress, RJD and JMM had supported Koda for 23
months," BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu and JD(U) President Sharad
Yadav told a joint press conference here.
They said If the alliance won the elections, it would
set up a special probe committee to dig deep into the scam to
trace all the characters involved in it.
Appealing to the people to reject Independent
candidates to prevent a repeat of 2005 election result, the
NDA leaders also promised to combat the Maoists operating in
the state.
