Meanwhile, JPCC Spokesperson Alok Kumar Dubey, Lal Kishorenath Shahdeo and Rajesh Gupta issued a joint statement and said that if the irregularities took place during the reign of former Chief Minister Raghubar Das will be properly investigated, then the biggest scam in the history of 70 years of independent India will unearth.

The spokespersons said Raghubar Das’ statement that he does not know how to run a colony, is raising questions on the functioning of the Central Government, this statement reflects his arrogance.

“For this reason, first the people completely rejected him and now the party has also ignored him while announcing the State Working Committee. In order to remain in the headlines in the media he is giving some baseless statement because he knows that his career has ended,” they said.
