New Delhi: In Dholpur Palace controversy,producing the new document Congress claimed that Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje is occupying the palace illegally. Congress senior leader Jairam Ramesh demanded the resignation of Raje. Congress also accused Vasundhara Raje’s son Dushyant Singh of taking compensation money for the Dholpur Palace, a government property.
The Dholpur palace, located about 40 km from Agra, originally belonged to the royal family of Hemant Singh, the estranged husband of Ms Raje, who is the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. It is now listed as an asset of a firm co-owned by Mr Modi, Ms Raje and her son, Dushyant Singh.
Producing the National Archive document of 1949, Ramesh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should wake up from his ‘Kumbhakaran’ sleep and bring a closure by calling for Raje’s resignation.Jairam said an agreement from 1949 between the government and the royal family of Dholpur that granted Hemant Singh’s father the right to personal use of the palace for his lifetime. Countring the Congrss claimed BJP says that as part of another deal, it was returned to Hemant Singh’s family in 1958. It also says that Hemant Singh transferred the red sandstone mansion in 2007 to Dushyant Singh, his son with Ms Raje.
Producing the document of 10 April 2013 Jairam said that two people complaind to CBI that Dushyant Singh is not the owner of this propery. In 2010, the then Congress government that was in power in Rajasthan paid Dushyant Singh nearly 2 crores to acquire a part of the Dholpur property to facilitate the construction of a large highway. “Was the Congress government so inefficient that it mistakenly paid Dushyant Singh?” asked the BJP’s Nalin Kohli.
Talking to reporters in New Delhi, senior Congress leader and former Union minister Jairam Ramesh said there are clinching evidences that the Dholpur Palace is a government property. Ramesh alleged that Vasundhara’s son Dushyant Singh had illegally converted Dholpur Palace into a hotel.
“Documents we release today prove that Dholpur Palace belong to the government of Rajasthan. On 17 May 2007 additional district judge of Bharatpur in a case titled – Dushyant vs Hemant Singh – ruled on a compromise between father and son on moovable properties, not inmoovable properties. He (Dushyant Singh) got a compensation of Rs 2 crore, and that is a scam which needs to be investigated. Until there is a closure of this issue, Congress will keep bringing in disclosures,” Ramesh said. Producing the document of 10 April 2013 Jairam said that two people complaind to CBI that Dushyant Singh is not the owner of this propery.
