Ashok Chavan files papers, says his conscience clear on Adarsh

Let us not bring Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi into this issue. How are they concerned here?”

Chavan resigned as CM in November 2010 after his name figured in the Adarsh scam. His successor, Prithviraj Chavan, set up a judicial commission to probe the alleged scam.

The commission submitted its report saying Ashok Chavan did allot flats to his close relatives, which amounted to a quid pro quo.

To a query on the commission's recommendations, Ashok Chavan said, “The judicial commission's provisions are not binding on the government.”

“You see, the party stand is very clear. There is no corruption issue involved in my case. It is only a media hype created by certain sections of media,” Chavan said.
