Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not a happy man. On Thursday, he expressed displeasure at the CBI court's 2G verdict, saying it was one of the biggest scams that rocked the country. Then on Friday, after the Bombay High Court gave relief to Ashok Chavan, Kejriwal tweeted that the BJP had given a clean chit to the Congress in the scam.
Kejriwal came to prominence as the leader of an anti-corruption movement in India.
Earlier on Friday, The Bombay High Court on Friday set aside the sanction granted to the CBI by Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao to prosecute senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh housing society scam.
A division bench of Justices Ranjit More and Sadhana Jadhav ruled that though the CBI had claimed to be in possession of fresh evidence against Chavan at the time of seeking the sanction, it "failed to present any fresh evidence."
Chavan even accused the BJP of vendetta politics.
A day earlier, a CBI court acquitted A Raja and Kanomozhi, who were part of the UPA government, in the 2G scam case, citing lack of evidence. While the Congress and the DMK hailed the judgment, the ruling BJP and other parties have pushed for a higher court to examine the case.
The corruption had become a major political plank for opposition parties, except for AIADMK and DMK, in the 2016 assembly election with both the major Dravidian parties caught in the corruption charges. After defeating DMK in the state assembly in 2011 and Lok Sabha polls in 2014 using the 2G scam, late AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa found herself targeted by opposition parties on corruption charges after her conviction and subsequent acquittal in the disproportionate assets case in 2014-15. After Jayalalithaa’s death last year, the Supreme Court in February this year upheld the conviction in the assets case and jailed her close aide VK Sasikala and two others.
