PUNE: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya on Thursday claimed that he would announce the name of one more minister from the state cabinet involved in a scam.
“I am gathering information and related documents. The name will be announced next week,” said Somaiya at a news conference here. “I have filed a complaint and am waiting for a reply. Details will be shared after a reply is received,” he said.
Somaiya further questioned why state transport minister Anil Parab was still holding on to his post even after charges of illegal activities have been levelled against him. “Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray should explain why Parab is still in the state cabinet,” he said.
He said that Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has questioned actions by the enforcement directorate in the state against the leaders of MVA. The searches and actions are being initiated because investigations have revealed involvement of leaders in scams, said Somaiya.
