Nagpur, Nov 28: Opposition leader in State Legislative Council, Nitin Gadkari has said all 19 beneficiaries in the multi-crore fake stamp scam should be named and also demanded dismissal of state government. The then Mumbai Police Commissioner, R S Sharma's counsel had informed Mumbai High Court yesterday that 19 names of ministers and bureaucrats allegedly figure in the scam kingpin Telgi's diary and hence the names be made public at the earliest, Gadkari said in a statement.

He also urged the State Governor to dismiss the state government, adding "the answer to the question as to why the state government was reluctant to hand over probe to CBI, lies in the disclosure in high court yesterday.

The names of beneficiaries will not remain secret for a long time and people of Maharashtra have a right to know who were patronising Telgi and deriving benefit from him, Gadkari said. The Democratic Front government has lost the moral right to continue in office, he claimed and asked Centre to intervene. Bureau Report
