More trust trouble for senior Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal

A report that will be officially shared with the Maharashtra government next week alleges that Chhagan Bhujbal gave two plots of land in Nashik at a hefty discount to a trust run by his nephew, Sameer. The report by the government's auditor (CAG) suggests that there was a serious conflict of interest as the land that Mr Bhujbal assigned to the trust was meant for use by his Public Works ministry. The alleged value of the land was Rs. 9.39 crore, it was given to the trust for Rs. 9.08 lakh. Mr Bhujbal is a senior leader of the NCP, which partners with the Congress in the Maharashtra government.
