Opposition tirade against the Cooperative Minister Ramadhar Singh in Bihar had finally its impact with the Minister tendering his resignation to the Chief Minister.
Readers may be aware that he was declared an absconder in an incident of inciting riots in 1992 and recently he was seen sharing dais with the Chief Minister. Television channels made such a hue and cry of the matter that an embarrassed Chief Minister was forced to resort to damage control.
There is obvious glee in RJD camp. Talking to Indiancooperative.com Sunil Singh, Chairman of Biscomaun said that when the minister himself is guilty, how can he find fault with us.
He had threatened to remove me in one month from Biscomaun but see he himself had to go, said a relieved Sunil Singh. I had told him that if he spells Biscomaun correctly I would resign. But he initiated vigilance inquiry to harass us, he added.
I took Biscomaun to Rs 18crore per anum earning from a mere 80 lakh. High Court has ruled in our favour earlier. Yet the Minister Ramadhar Singh wanted to corner us, said Sunil Singh.
Indiancooperative.com had reported earlier that a fight between ruling party and RJD was going on to control the levers of cooperative power in the state. In the first round, it appears the ruling class has lost. But the war has begun and much fireworks are expected to be visible in future.
