Mumbai: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has said that he would initiate an inquiry into the alleged multi-crore irrigation scam and probe the “hasty approval” of builder files by former CM Prithviraj Chavan, if his party is voted to power.
“Once they (Cong-NCP) were good friends…now they are leaving no stone unturned to stab each other. One (Ajit Pawar) says he will file RTI queries to get the documents that Chavan signed and the other (Chavan) says law will catch up with him as it did with Jayalalithaa. But both of them should not worry. I will open all your files and get the truth out when voted to power,” Thackeray said here last night.
Thackeray also announced the construction of a Bal Thackeray memorial on capturing power.
“We will ensure that a memorial of international standards of my father Bal Thackeray is constructed when we come to power in the state. But I do not want any favours from other parties for this,” he said.
Taking a dig at BJP’s campaign slogan revolving around Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maratha warrior king Shivaji Maharaj, Thackeray said that the Sena will not bend down.
