Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya has fallen flat on his face, alleging that a Lokayukta report found no links between him and the controversial Sai resort in Dapoli.
Talking to reporters, Parab said the Lokayukta has stated that the probe does not fall under its purview because the owner of the resort is Sadanand Kadam and he is not a public servant. Ex-MP Somaiya had alleged that the beach-front property in Ratnagiri district is owned by Parab, a former minister, and Sadanand Kadam.
The Lokayukta in its report has said the request to probe the matter is not needed because different authorities have conducted a probe, so we cannot probe it, Parab. A close aide of Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Parab said he has also filed a defamation case against Somaiya.
The complainant (Somaiya) has filed several complaints before other authorities on the same subject matter, so the complaint is not maintainable, Parab said. The Lokayukta has underlined that I have no links to the resort. Kirit Somaiya has fallen flat on his face as he had levelled charges against me that I own the resort, Somaiya added.
