New Delhi, October 19: BJP today attempted to drag Prime Minister’s Office into the CWG controversy, questioning why the PMO and Union Cabinet did not verify before approving the “inflated budget” of various Games projects and demanded a joint parliamentary committee probe into alleged irregularities.
Terming the alleged bunglings as a “very big scam”, BJP president Nitin Gadkari said a detailed probe should be held by a JPC to “uncover the involvement of the political leadership”.
He said the CBI should also investigate the corruption charges and submit its report within three months.
Gadkari claimed that BJP has substantial documents to prove involvement of political leaders and the party would submit them to a JPC.
“All types of increase in estimates were approved by the Cabinet sub committee and the PMO.
