The Gujarat assembly witnessed noisy scenes when Congress MLA from Porbandar Arjun Modhwadia alleged that it was because of corporate lobbyist Niira Radia that the Modi government gave benefits worth Rs 29,000 crore to Tata Motors when it set up the Nano plant in Sanand.

During an argument on Monday over providing employment in Ahmedabad district, Modhwadia alleged that even after the government gave special favours to Ratan Tata, he has not employed locals which is mandatory. State finance, labour and employment minister Vajubhai Vala reacted saying that 1,954 of the 2,549 employees in the Nano plant here are locals.

The debate ended here, but after the question hour, state urban development minister Nitin Patel raised an objection and urged the assembly to remove the allegation of Rs 29,000 crore benefits to Tata Motors, from the records. However, Modhwadia repeated that Tata got these favours only because of Radia. He went on to add that he had photographs and videos to prove his claim.

Vala and others objected to this and BJP MLAs started raising anti-Congress slogans.

Leader of opposition Shaktisinh Gohil took a dig at Nitin Patel and said that he had raised an issue that would give the Congress a chance to put several things, which were not said so far, on record.

Speaker Ganpat Vasava said that he would give his decision after Modhwadia submitted documents as proof of his claims.
