CBI to re-investigate CM KCR - Sahara Scam?

January 19, 2019

According to sources, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had put forth the proposal of a non-BJP and non-Congress front as he got suspicious that the Modi government might target him in Sahara scam just like Karthi Chidambaram. There are allegations that Chandrashekar Rao, who was Union Labour Minister in 2006, had favoured Sahara Group by allowing the company to manage EPF accounts on its own. The Sahara Group committed fraud by evading employer’s contribution and also used employees contribution for its own. The probe by EPFO revealed the company cheated 11 lakh employees and central government to the tune of Rs 7,000 crore.
