The Story in Brief
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday alleged a ₹35,000-crore scam in works planned for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik, freepressjournal.in reports. He drew a parallel with the alleged donation irregularities at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Thackeray demanded a white paper on all Kumbh-related spending and urged residents to question ruling-party MLAs and corporators. He also accused the BJP of using sadhus for electoral gains. The party will hold a morcha in Nashik on August 17 over pothole-ridden roads and alleged irregularities.
The Indian Opinion
Thackeray's allegations are typical pre-election rhetoric, but the sheer scale of ₹35,000 crore demands a response. The government cannot dismiss the questions as political mischief without offering a detailed breakdown. Nashik's crumbling roads are visible to all. The August 17 morcha will test whether public anger is genuine or manufactured. If the government releases a white paper, it will settle the matter. If not, the suspicion of a scam will only grow.
