When BJP President, Amit Shah disclosed his assets as per the requirement of filing nomination papers for Rajya Sabha, it had revealed that over a period of five years there has been an increment of 300 percent in his total assets. AAP leaders are demanding for a logical explanation.
There are many questions being raised on Amit Shah like whether it was amassed in a wrong way? Is it black money? Is it disproportionate assets?. Three media houses have taken down the articles about this.
AAP leaders are saying that if Amit Shah stands for anti-corruption then he should give the explanation and clarify why the articles were taken down. They have also urged the media to give an explanation for the same. For them, media is the fourth pillar of democracy and it should function independently for democracy to succeed.
According to Shah’s affidavit, his movable as well as immovable properties, including his wife’s, stand at around Rs 34.40 crore, including Rs 10.38 crore ancestral property. In his 2012 affidavit for the Assembly polls, the cumulative value of the assets mentioned by him was around Rs 11.15 crore. This suggests his assets grew almost three times in five years.
Amit Shah is expected to give clarifications for himself.
