Gogoi counters Shah, welcomes probe announcement

Guwahati, April 10: Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today welcomed the announcement by BJP president Amit Shah that probes will be initiated into cases of corruption of the present State government. "I would be too happy if the present BJP-led NDA government at the Centre orders an inquiry into cases of corruption by the State government as stated by the BJP president Amit Shah. If the BJP-led Government was so serious in its claim that the present State government had indulged in corruption and misappropriated Central funds, then why did it not institute a probe in the nearly two years of its tenure? This is nothing but an election gimmick," he added.
