NCP (Sharad Chandra Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar suggested on Wednesday that mention of Adarsh Housing Scam in a white paper tabled in Parliament might have influenced Ashok Chavan`s decision to quit Congress and join BJP. However, Chavan denied the claims.
According to a report in PTI, Chavan, who recently joined the BJP after quitting the Congress, is one of the accused in the Adarsh housing society scam, involving the construction of a 31-storey building in south Mumbai allegedly on land owned by the Defence Ministry without necessary permissions. The scandal led to Chavan`s resignation as Maharashtra`s chief minister in 2010.
