Sena-NCP-Congress to move SC against closing of irrigation scam cases of Ajit Pawar

New Delhi: The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress on Tuesday challenged the closure of nine cases by the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau in the alleged Rs 70,000 crore irrigation scam involving Ajit Pawar in the Supreme Court.

The joint petition by the three parties described it as a “clean chit” and said the move to close cases was illegal. It also seeks a stay on the ACB’s move to close the cases and also urges the top court to restrain Fadnavis from taking any such decisions until the floor test is completed.
