Guwahati: Denying Congress’s allegation that the Rs 1.8 crore-stash seized at Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh — hours earlier than PM Narendra Modi’s rally on Wednesday — used to be from his convoy, Arunachal CM Pema Khandu stated the car from which the money used to be seized belonged to a BJP candidate for the approaching assembly election.
Congress, alleging a ‘cash for vote’ rip-off, had implicated Khandu, deputy leader minister Chowna Mein and Arunachal BJP president Tapir Gao. “It is a false allegation. I came to understand concerning the seizure within the morning ... Whoever this money belonged to will clarify their position earlier than the Election Commission and the Income Tax department,” Khandu stated, adding, “I have been informed that this money used to be seized from the car of a BJP candidate.”
He further stated, “Cash for vote isn't BJP’s tradition; it's practised through Congress.”
Arunachal’s additional leader electoral officer Kanki Darang stated Rs 1 crore used to be present in a car owned through the Christopher Perme, son of Dangi Perme, who has been fielded through BJP from the Mebo assembly constituency.
“The other Rs 80 lakh used to be seized from a 2d car, registered below the title of the deputy secretary of the state transport department. A former MLA, Ralom Borang, has claimed the money used to be his,” Darang stated. “I will be able to’t say that those two vehicles had been a part of leader minister’s convoy as a result of they had been found parked within the premises of Siang Guest House (at Pasighat),” Darang added.
President of BJP’s Arunachal unit Tapir Gao additionally confirmed the car from which Rs 1 crore used to be seized belongs to Perme’s son. “But the money used to be his own, no longer BJP’s. He has the documents to show it's his personal money. It does no longer belong to CM Pema Khandu or me, as Congress has alleged,” Gao, who's the celebration’s Lok Sabha candidate for the Arunachal East seat, stated.
Both Christopher and Borang have reportedly written to the Election Commission. Christopher has reportedly stated that a part of the money found within the car used to be what he earned from “disposal of traditional beads” in January 2019 and the rest used to be money borrowed from his kinfolk for funding in contractual work. He had kept the money aside to construct two homes. Borang, too, reportedly claimed he had borrowed probably the most money from his kinfolk and the rest used to be his. He added that he deliberate on buying property at Mariyang in Upper Siang district.
