Never took any favours from govt, claims Gujarat CM's daughter


Ahmedabad, Feb 6 (PTI): Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel's daughter Anar today rubbished Congress' allegations of taking undue favours from the state government after reports claiming dubious land dealings involving her business associates emerged.

The state BJP unit also came out in support of Anar accusing the Congress of trying to malign the Chief Minister and her daughter by levelling allegations against them.

"I, Anar Patel, am neither a director nor a share holder in WWRRPL (Wildwoods Resorts and Realties Private Limited), Anil Infraplus and Parshvatexchem. I don't have anything with WWRRPL, anybody can check with government authority," she wrote in a fresh Facebook post.

"Indeed, Daksheshbhai (Dakshesh Shah, who owns WWRRPL along with Amol Shripal Seth of Anil Infraplus) is my business partner but that doesn't mean that I am there in all his companies. He is a self-made businessman and is in business since last 22 years," she wrote.

"We started a company named "Anar Projects" seven years back with business interest in retails and services. We never took any favour from any government organisation, we strictly followed all rules and regulations in all manners.

"It's disheartening that my individuality is attacked based on sheer assumptions. I believe in my moral strength not in anyone's favour," she wrote in her latest post.

This is her second Facebook post in as many days on the issue amidst demand from Gujarat Congress for the resignation of Anandiben Patel for alleged favour done to her daughter and her business partners over allotting a piece of land worth Rs 122 crore to a private firm at a throw away price of just Rs 1.49 crore in 2010.

The Congress alleged that norms were flouted to extend undue benefit to firms owned by CM's daughter Anar Patel and her business partners. In her Facebook post yesterday also, Anar claimed that whatever she did was in "righteous manner".

"I get hurt when people have assumptions and judgments for one's morality. Truth always prevails and I abide by it with humanity," she had stated.

"My husband and I dedicated more than 22 years in social service. My husband surrendered his life for sanitation. To take care of family needs, in 2008 I did MBA..and entered in business. I strongly believe that to do ethical business with social morality is everyone's right," her previous post had stated.

State BJP spokesperson I K Jadeja said that "such allegations are a heinous attempt by the Congress to unnecessarily drag the CM and her daughter into the issue and malign their public image".

Former state Congress president Arjun Modhwadia had yesterday alleged that, "245.62 acres of government-own land worth Rs 122 crore in Patla village in Dhari taluka of Amreli district (near Gir sanctuary) was alloted to one Wildwoods Resort and Realities Pvt Ltd in 2010 when Narendra Modi was CM and Patel the Revenue Minister in Gujarat.

"In 2010, that piece of land was worth around Rs 122 crore, as the rate of one acre of land in that area was Rs 50 lakh. However, that was given at a throw away price of just Rs 1.49 crore to the owner of that firm Sanjay Dhanak, who told the government that he wanted to build a resort there," said Modhwadia.

"Then, Dhanak sold all the shares of his company to three different entities in 2011. 49.5 per cent sold to Anil Infra Plus, 49.5 per cent to Parshwa TexChem and 1 per cent to Dakshesh Shah, owner of Parshwa TexChem. Shah is a friend and business partner of Anandiben's daughter Anar Patel," he alleged.

The Congress leader alleged that the entire deal was aimed at giving undue benefits to Anar, who entered into the picture from back door to take the ownership of the precious land.

"This land falls in the Eco-Sensitive Zone, as it is near the Lion Sanctuary. All kinds of construction is prohibited in the two-kilometre periphery of this zone. However, the state government implemented this law only after the dealing completed in 2011," alleged Modhwadia.

    She sounds really genuine - 99.999
    One should believe in whatever she says\explains.
    But she never explained that low price they paid for the land...
    Question mark there on her genuineness
    Modi has said clearly (May be he has said that when he was CM there too).
    "I will not eat nor will I allow others to eat" What he really meant of that "eat" is anybody's guess. That is why many are dying of hunger - not allowing them to eat?!!!
    Who agrees that they have usurped land - Hema Malini for instance? or namma Karnataka 'uppa ('appa)?
    Is she projecting she usurped the land going through so many difficulties and she deserves it?
    God only protect us from all these "GENUINE" people (politicians in general)

    Anti Corrupt, M'luru

    There are always ups and down in Politics - sometimes tremendous success, sometimes brought down to earth results when fake promises are made. People always fall for it initially for such kind of promise of 15 lacs in their accounts within 100 days etc..
    You will fall for it, I will fall for it and others too. After realizing that we are all taken, there is every chance next time election result may change drastically like it happened last election.
    Congress have done wonders to bring India to this globally accepted level. BJP claiming they have done it in just under 2 years in power...!!! there, for you to "believe it or not". Bhakts are so easy to be manipulated.
    I hate Congress\UPA for any scams they have done and deride their such acts and feel they are punished by the voters for their faith breaking acts.

    Guilty BJP, no guts and no spine to step down and clear thier names if they claim its a false allegation. They know it very well, moment they step down its a one way road for them, no going back and if this serves as a pre-incidence then there will be a chain reaction and it will be the end of BJP. The 56" chested man will be flat chested!!!!!!

    Yes, some bhaktas knowingly justify their wrong doings blindly as if they get some rewards for that. At the end, they go astray. They unduly justify just because they want to show their frustration that congress has done nothing for the 67 years. But jeevan, congress will come back with full majority. People came to know that this modi is interested only on foreign trips and ruling a country is not Modi's cup of tea.This time people will not get fooled again.Jee bhar ke jeele baaki 3 saal.

    From 2008 to 2014, main stream national media picked up each of these issues and tagged it as Scam & corruption. Each of such scams had a F.I.R and an investigation. Today in 2015 times have changed, corruption is legalized by Modi Govt, that is the only difference. Today, there is no FIR and no investigation. Even courts are scared to take up such cases suo motto and make any observation. From Hema Malini to this case all issues are same. Matter closed.

    Is there any end to BJP ministers corruption scam list. Within 19 months BJP in power has suupassed a overwhelming record corruption scams. Whatever congress has done in 66 years is very negligible compared BJP in such a short time and such a huge amount and so many govt. ministers involved including our 56" chested great PM. Thank god BJP did not rule like congress for 66 years, if so Chinese and Pakistanis would have been ruling us and we would have been thier slaves.
