Chodankar, Former Goa GPCC chief said."Smriti Irani's family-run restaurant is the best example of how BJP leaders are into running benami businesses by using government machinery," he stated."Though Union Minister Irani has denied that her family is running restaurant in Goa, there is sufficient circumstantial evidence about her family's involvement in it," Chodankar said."This is an open and shut case of benami business and fit for the investigation by Enforcement Directorate. If the ED dares to inquire with Superintendent of Excise Department, entire truth in the matter will come to light," he said."This officer (Superintendent of Excise) was aware about the death of Anthony D'gama, one who had obtained license for restaurant. But the license was renewed without insisting on Police verification and other mandatory documents," Chodankar said, adding that BJP used government machinery for the purpose.Smriti Irani has already clarified that her daughter is not involved in running restaurant in Goa and has issued legal notices to Congress leaders demanding an apology from them.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
