As Long as I’m Alive, I Won’t Allow Corrupt People Live in Peace: MLA Neeraj Sharma

GG News Bureau

Faridabad, 11th Feb. Neeraj Sharma, MLA of NIT Faridabad, stated that he raised the issue of the Rs 200 crore scam in Municipal Corporation Faridabad during the March 2022 assembly session. When the minister did not give the correct answer in the House, MLA Sharma made a vow not to wear stitched clothes, shoes, or slippers until the corrupt was apprehended.

MLA Neeraj Sharma stated that even after 54 days of sacrifice, one year is about to pass today, but the government has not recovered even Rs 1 in the case of payment of 200 crores without work. MLA Neeraj Sharma stated that when the matter of the 200 crores scam became public, it was in the eyes of the administration; however, a single day payment of 31 crores was made to Satbir Contractor, and when the matter of the scam investigation came up, this payment of Rs 31 crore was taken out of the purview of the investigation.

MLA Neeraj Sharma stated that the payment of Rs 31 crore was made in a single day on 4 August 2020, and that 12 days later, on 16 August 2020, a fire broke out in the Municipal Corporation’s record room, but this was not included in the investigation.

The investigation was approved out of formality since the administration just continued fiddling with letters. The investigation was permitted for the payment years 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20, but this payment was made after that time period. The government did not permit it, as officials turned it around through correspondence.

MLA Neeraj Sharma was writing to the government on a regular basis, requesting that this Rs 31 crore payment be included in the investigation. As a result, on February 8, 2023, the government wrote a letter to the Director General State Vigilance Bureau, Panchkula, asking that the payment of 31 crores made to the Satbir contractor in a single day be included in the investigation.

MLA Neeraj Sharma demanded that the government pay attention to the recovery in this scam because the money belongs to the people of Faridabad, and that the case be transferred to the CBI or ED as soon as possible because it is a money laundering case.
