Alleging that
health and revenue minister Kaul Singh Thakur has concealed vital information
in his affidavit filed during assembly election, an RTI activist has wrote a
letter to chief election commissioner seeking an inquiry on the issue.
In his complaint
to chief election commissioner, RTI activist Dev Ashish Bhattacharya has
alleged that minister has concealed some information about the plots owned on
lease by him at housing society in Heeranagar in Shimla. He said that while the
lease rule says that no commercial activity could be carried from the land
given on lease, the minister has rented out the premises which amounts to
commercial activity.
To
substantiate his allegation, Bhattcahrya has also enclosed the copy of lease
deed with his complaint. He said that in his affidavit filed during the
assembly election the minister has termed the building as commercial while as
per the rule the building was to be used only for residential purpose.
