However, Rijiju has refuted all allegations of corruption against him, saying that the ones planting such news would be thrashed with shoes, should they come to Arunachal Pradesh. Echoing similar sentiments, Union Minister of State for Power Piyush Goyal said Rijiju was innocent and thepayment was released on the orders of Congress party and its government "Payment was released on the orders of Congress official and now the concern party has to answer. Mr. Rijiju was not involved in it." Goyal added. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Anand Sharma has given notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, for a discussion over the alleged involvement Rijiju in the project. Rijiju is being pilloried by the Congress party in the wake of a 129-page report prepared by Satish Verma, the Chief Vigilance Officer of the North Eastern Electricity Power Corporation (NEEPCO), suggesting that he and his cousin Goboi were involved in a Rs 450 crore plus power project scam.(ANI)
