Shankersinh Vaghela demands probe into Jay Shah deals
The charge has been rejected by the BJP and Jay Shah, who has termed the report as false, derogatory and defamatory .
Rajkot: Former Gujarat chief minister Shankersinh Vaghela on Saturday demanded an investigation into the claims made in a media report that the turnover of a firm of BJP president Amit Shah’s son Jay grew manifold after the saffron party came to power at the Centre in 2014.
The charge has been rejected by the BJP and Jay Shah, who has termed the report as “false, derogatory and defamatory”.
“I do not believe in personal allegations, but when a report talks about his (Jay Shah’s) role (corruption in business dealings), then a probe should be conducted against him,” Mr Vaghela said.
The former Congress leader, who has joined a new outfit, the Jan Vikalp Party, was responding to reporters’ queries on the controversy surrounding Jay Shah’s company.
Jay Shah recently moved a court in Ahmedabad against The Wire.
