The BJP delegation also alleged that nowadays murder, loot, rape, dacoity incidents take top place in newspapers. The moral of criminals in the state has increased so much so that even in jail murder is committed.
“The ED has written to the government with solid evidence for lodging an FIR against officials involved in corruption, middlemen but rather taking action against them, the chief minister is sitting on files”, the memorandum said.
The BJP leaders also told the governor that loot of mineral, sand, stone, land has been done openly and cash recovery has crossed all-time record. “So, the BJP being the opposition party in the state demands a constitutional solution to these issue from you”, the delegation said.
