MUMBAI: BJP MLA Ashish Shelar on Tuesday alleged a land sale in Bandra West area of Mumbai had brought about a loss of Rs 3,000 crore to the Maharashtra state exchequer. The MLA had last week said the plot of land, which was sold by a trust to a builder for Rs 324 crore, had a value of Rs 1,000 crore.
"This is a scam of Rs 3,000 crore which has been carried out by fraudulently transferring a prime government-owned plot of land adjacent to Taj Hotel at Bandstand in Bandra West to a builder. The government has helped the builder benefit by offering FSI as charity on the plot under the guise of slum rehabilitation," he alleged.
