The Madhya Pradesh Congress has demanded an inquiry into the business firm of BJP national president Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah by a special commission comprising two sitting Supreme Court judges.
Addressing a press conference in Bhopal, AICC general secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Deepak Babaria said, “The country is watching. The Prime Minister has to decide. Will he side with his friend or rise above party politics. The need of the hour is for a speedy inquiry by a special commission comprising two sitting Supreme Court judges.”
The Congress party also raised the following list of seven questions on the issue, saying the common man was seeking answers to the same.
LIST OF QUESTIONS
- What is the business of Temple Enterprises, which is owned by the wife of BJP chief Amit Shah, his daughter-in-law and son Jay Shah that it increased its turnover by 16,000 times in one year? What were the properties that they owned? How many employees were working for the company and where and how was the money being transacted? What was the magic wand that helped a company that made losses in 2013 and 2014 expand its business by 16,000 times within a year of the Modi government’s assuming office?
- What were the reasons that forced the closure of Temple Enterprises in 2016 despite the fact that it expanded its business by 16,000 times. What was there in the one room office of Temple Enterprises that its rent was shown as Rs 80 lakh?
- The accounts of Temple Enterprises have shown receiving 51 crores from outside the country. What was this business and why did no enforcement agency question it? Had this money come into the account of a common man whose turnover was just 50,000 until a year ago, what would have the ED, CBI and income tax department done?
- What was the reason that Jay Shah’s company got an unsecured loan of Rs 15.78 crore from KISF financial services?
- On what basis did the Kalupur commercial cooperative bank give a loan of Rs 25 crore to Jay Shah’s company when only two properties worth Rs 6.20 crore were mortgaged?
- Jay Shah’s company Kusum Finserv is into trading and business of import-export but it was given the work of setting up a wind energy plant of 2.1 megawatt in Madhya Pradesh for which it got a loan of 10.35 crore from IREDA. The country wants to know the criteria which makes a company with zero experience in power generation eligible for a low-interest loan.
- Union Minister Piyush Goyal held a press conference to defend Jay Shah. His ministry helped him secure a low-interest loan. Is Jay Shah a minister in the Modi government or is he an office-bearer of the BJP? How many other beneficiaries have been openly defended by the BJP ministers?
