Former IPS officer-turned-lawyer YP Singh on Thursday accused union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar's family of violating norms to lease out 348 acres of government land to the Lavasa hill city project.
He also targeted activist Arvind Kejriwal, saying he didn't highlight the issue despite having documents against the Pawars.
Singh alleged that Pawar's nephew and former water resources minister, Ajit Pawar, gave away the land in 2002 to Lake City Corporation - later renamed Lavasa Corporation - on renewable lease at a paltry Rs. 23,000 per year.
Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule and her husband Sadanand Sule held 20.81% shares in the company at that time, he alleged.
Singh questioned how Lake City shares sold by the Sules in 2006 didn't figure in Supriya's 2009 Lok Sabha poll affidavit that put her wealth at Rs. 50 crore.
