Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
Congress’s Rahul Gandhi concluded the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra in Mumbai today with some barbs at foes and former friends. While the heavy artillery was reserved for the BJP, a senior leader, thought to be Ashok Chavan, who recently crossed over to the BJP, got some special attention.<\/p>\n
Without naming the former Maharashtra Chief Minister and MP, Mr Gandhi hinted that he had crossed over to evade the Central investigation agencies.<\/p>\n
“We are fighting with a power. Now the question is, what is that power. The soul of a king lies in the EVMs, ED (Enforcement Directorate), CBI, Income tax,” Mr Gandhi said, addressing a mammoth crowd in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
“I don’t want to name names, but a senior leader from this state, left the Congress. Weeping, he told my mother, ‘Sonia-ji, I’m ashamed to say, I do not have the power to fight this people, this force. I do not want to go to jail’,” he added.<\/p>\n
The Congress has levelled the “washing machine” allegation against the BJP again after Mr Chavan switched sides last month, shortly after another key leader, Milind Deora.<\/p>\n
State Congress chief Nana Patole, with whom he had serious differences, said the reason was mention of the Adarsh scam in a White Paper presented in parliament.<\/p>\n
Mr Chavan has three cases pending against him, two of which are linked to the Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society.<\/p>\n
Mr Chavan was the revenue minister of the state in 2000, when land in Colaba was allegedly allotted illegally for the Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society.<\/p>\n
The veteran leader has ascribed various differences with the Congres as his reason for leaving the party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
