NDA should not try to settle scores of public life: Vaghela

Former Union Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela, against whom CBI filed an FIR for selling NTC land allegedly at "throwaway prices", today warned the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government not to settle scores of public life.

"NDA should not try to settle scores of public life. Today they are there (in power) and tomorrow, someone else will be there and nobody will be spared, from Prime Minister to Chief Minister or the entire Cabinet, skeletons will come out from their cupboards also," Vaghela, the Leader of Opposition in Gujarat Assembly, told reporters here.

"They should not waste time in such activities rather they should do some positive work," the Congress leader said.

The CBI had yesterday filed an FIR against Vaghela and six others for sale of National Textile Corporation's land in Mumbai to a Kolkata-based private firm, causing an alleged loss of Rs 709 crore to public exchequer.

The central probe agency had also raided his house in Gandhinagar along with eight other places in the country.

Vaghela had started his political career with the BJP.
