UPA allies of Koda shared profits of crime: Jaitley

Ranchi, Nov 29 (PTI) United Progressive Alliance (UPA)
allies which supported the erstwhile Madhu Koda government in
Jharkhand in east India had shared the "profits of crime"
which surfaced after the unearthing of the money laundering
scam, leader of opposition Bhaartiya Janata Party (BJP) Arun
Jaitley said Sunday.

"Corruption can't be by only one individual though he
(Koda) was the centre of it. The UPA allies supported his
government. Therefore the possibility of distribution of
"profits of crime" among them cannot be ruled out," senior BJP
leader Arun Jaitley told a news conference here.
Commenting on the findings of the Income Tax department
raids on various premises, including those of Koda, Jaitley
alleged that there was an attempt to slow down investigations
and expressed surprise over the case not being handed over to
a state investigating agency or to the Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI).
He asked the UPA to use its 'much-hyped' Right To
Information Act and make public the names in the diary found
during the raids.
"Instability helps people like Koda to entrench through
corruption and then bargain for their political support,"
Jaitley said.
Koda is still supporting the UPA and there is a debate in
the Congress whether to take his support or not, he said. PTI
