The Uttarakhand assembly was adjourned on Tuesday following an uproar over the issue of allotment of 56 hydel projects to new companies with the Congress seeking a CBI probe.
Soon after Question Hour, Congress along with BSP members trooped into the well of the House raising slogans against the government over the issue.
Opposition members led by Leader of Opposition Harak Singh Rawat alleged widespread irregularities in the allotment process and sought CBI probe to unravel the truth.
“Let there be a CBI inquiry to unearth the whole truth,” Mr. Rawat said.
The uproar in the House took place despite Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank asserting there were no irregularities in the allotment process which was done in a transparent manner.
Later, at a press conference, Rawat alleged “eight companies, whose credentials are not well known, are headed by five persons only. All these five persons managed to get projects worth 377 MW of power which is very strange.”
