Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mandal Nurpur President Jatinder Singh Pathania revealed that several crores were collected over the years as rent from properties in Block Committee Nurpur.
Shockingly, a Congress leader, without the knowledge of the Block Committee members, managed to withdraw nearly 11 lakhs by playing on the government’s fears. He also gathered additional funds, taking advantage of the situation, and donated it to the disaster relief fund, capturing the moment with a photo. If the money was genuinely meant for donation, it should have been handed over to the Block Committee members collectively, with a proper check. It’s unclear how long these individuals will engage in dubious politics!
Jatinder Pathania expressed the strong disapproval of the BJP Mandal Nurpur regarding this incident. He questioned why the sum of 50 lakhs that was collected in Block Committee Nurpur wasn’t utilized for the development of the area. Why wasn’t this money allocated?
He further pointed out that today, he’s here to expose the misuse of political platforms and the misappropriation of wealth worth lakhs. For the past two and a half years, around 25 shops, which were allotted by the Panchayat Samiti, have remained closed!
Why were they shut down, and why hasn’t the allotment taken place? Who is responsible for this, and how were around 60 shops allotted to favored individuals in the past, and now the government is being burdened with rents of 300 and 800 rupees every month?
This ongoing saga has persisted for years! On paper, these shops are registered under widows, unemployed individuals, or BPL families, but, in reality, they have been exploited by financially affluent political figures, who have been pocketing thousands above the rent every month! Media is being used to reveal that through the SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate), we will submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister on this matter!
