After sleeping over the Skywalk project for over four years, Congress is now using deceiving tactics to cover up its corruption and if they want to conduct an investigation, get it through the retired Supreme Court Judge as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) isn’t scared of the probe.

After Congress Government ordered a probe into alleged irregularities in the skywalk project through Economic Offence Wing and Anti-Corruption Bureau, former Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Rajesh Munat reacted, saying they have followed all the rules and maintained transparency from tender to construction work in the Skywalk project, which was conceived keeping in focus the concept of Raipur’s development in 2016-17.

Skywalk work was moving at its own pace when the election was conducted. The government changed and Congress, out of prejudice, stopped the project. Congress Government formed four committees over Skywalk, but no decision was taken as yet. After four years in power, Congress suddenly remembered the skywalk.

Munat said that the intentions of this Government are malicious. Chief Minister Secretariat and other departments are involved in corrupt practices and many officers are under the ambit of the Enforcement Directorate’s investigation. So, an unbiased investigation can’t be expected from this government. Munat alleged Congress’s main intention is to harass the opposition in response to the ED probe out of frustration. Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel decided to conduct a probe after a memorandum from a Congress party spokesperson RP Singh. Munat said that he would extend his full support to the probe if the probe is carried out by a retired Supreme Court Judge. The Chief Minister’s statement that “he was told to cooperate in the ED probe, so now Munat must cooperate” indicates that Bhupesh Baghel is creating diversion seeing the looming ED probe on him after the indictment of people close to him, Rajesh Munat maintained.
