Odisha Oppn for cancellation of land allotments

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: The Opposition Congress in Odisha has kicked up a storm demanding that all housing allotments made from the ministers' discretionary quota be cancelled.

OPCC chief Niranjan Patnaik said, "All allotments so far should be cancelled, action should be taken against those ministers responsible irrespective of party lines.

A CNN-IBN-Cobrapost expose in November, 2011, had shown that judges and their children, along with bureaucrats and ministers had benefitted from the ministers' discretionary quota.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has promised action against those misusing discretionary powers.
