Controversies and Maharashtra Chief Minister – Prithviraj Chavan –

Bt Brinjal –
He is supporter of Bt Brinjal
Mr. Chavan pushed for Bt Brinjal in a letter he copied word for word from a study funded by biotech seed companies, including Monsanto.
He is presenting an undemocratic GM bill to ease the legalisation of Bt Brinjal, rice, and more—without any public input. Mr. Chavan is supposed to serve the people of India. Instead, he’s serving the interests of biotech seed corporations. The accusations were made by the Green Peace.

Flat Benefits – Enjoyed by New Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan

RTI activist Anil Galgali, who blew the lid on the ingenious scam, said: "I had filed an RTI application to find out what happened to the flats allotted under the Chief Minister's Discretionary Quota Scheme. A majority of the flats had been allotted to politicians and their close relatives."

The Chief Minister's Discretionary Quota Scheme, 1976, was originally meant for citizens from the economically weaker sections to apply for flats surrendered by developers.
According to the Maharashtra Urban Land Ceiling Act (repealed in 2007), it was mandatory for realtors to keep some flats vacant in lieu of constructing on government land.
The idea was to facilitate mass housing for the poor.
Apart from members of the economically backward community, the discretionary quota allowed journalists, artists and ex- servicemen to apply for flats.

Prithviraj Chavan admitted that he had been allotted a flat at Bhakti Park in Wadala in 2003 under the Chief Minister's Discretionary Quota.
Media has reported that there is confusion regarding salary showed by him.
Somewhere I read that flats were meant for MLA and he was MP.

Good thing is New CM has not sold his flat. Normally they purchase flat and make huge profits.

Example – Purchase the flat at the Rate of 100 Rs. Per sq,ft and sell that same flat at the Rate of 6000 or 10, 000 Rs. Sq,ft.

yes you are right but we do not have any choice,
everyone is corrupt.

Tanvi November 10, 2010  

Everything else apart, can they assure us a corrupt free government? We have been having a unstable form of governing body in Maharashtra, is that suitable for a country like us, which boasts of having the world's biggest democracy? Have many more questions...

I have a rising blood and rush of anger, I am tired of it and tired of seeing my city in shackles..

Cheers,
