Probe Congress, RJD hand in Koda scam: NDA leaders

RANCHI, Nov 22: National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders on Sunday demanded an independent probe into the Madhu Koda scam and accused the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of having a role in the Rs 2,500 crore money laundering racket. “There should be an independent probe in the Madhu Koda scam. Koda is only an actor in the scam but the producer and director of the scam are Congress and RJD. The Koda scam is a blot in the history of Indian democracy,” senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said at a press conference here. “The RJD and Congress should be awarded the Nobel prize along with Koda for looting the state... It was Congress and RJD who installed Koda as Chief Minister,” he said. Janata Dal-United (JD-U) president Sharad Yadav was also present at the press meet and expressed fears that the Congress might dilute the Koda scam probe. “The Congress uses scams for political purposes. The Koda episode is a blot on politics. Corporate houses’ role should also be probed in the scam,” Yadav said. (IANS)
