194 Politicians, Including 6 Former CMs, Submitted Fake PAN Details to EC -Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

-TheWire.in

Of the 194 lawmakers, 72 are from the Congress and 41 from the BJP, the Cobrapost investigation found upon analysing over 2,000 affidavits submitted between 2006-16.

New Delhi:
Investigative website Cobrapost, which had earlier this year exposed some media houses succumbing to the lure of Hindutva advertorials, has now claimed to have discovered that 194 Indian politicians made false submissions regarding their permanent account numbers (PAN) while reporting their income to the Election Commission.

The website, which analysed about 2,000 affidavits sworn before the Election Commission of India (ECI) by politicians across 23 states for fighting elections between 2006 and 2016, said it found 194 of these PAN details to be fake.

Congress, BJP leaders dominate dubious list

It said among the politicians who made these submissions were 72 from the Congress and 41 from BJP. In all, leaders from 29 big and small political parties, including the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samajwadi Party, Janata Dal (United) and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were found involved in this duplicity.

The false submissions regarding PAN were also found to have been made by six former chief ministers, ten sitting ministers, eight former ministers and 54 sitting and 102 former Members of Legislative Assembly.

Among the big names which figure on this list are former Assam chief ministers Tarun Gogoi and Bhumidhar Barman, former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and former Himachal Pradesh chief ministers Virbhadra Singh and Prem Kumar Dhumal. Other prominent leaders include Rajasthan minister Bina Kak, Bihar cabinet minister Nand Kishore Yadav, Maharashtra minister Deshmukh Vijaykumar, Haryana minister Kavita Jain and Himachal Pradesh minister Kishan Kapoor.
