Stating that it was wrong to take anybody's name including that of Congress president Sonia Gandhi in connection with the alleged irregularities in the AgustaWestland chopper deal, senior JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav today demanded concrete action against the accused.

"I believe that wrongdoing did take place. I want to tell the BJP that people have given them strength. They have all the means," Yadav told reporters here.

"Action should be taken against all whether those involved in financial wrongdoing or any other person...Or the ED or anyone. Whatever wrong has taken place in the Agusta deal should be caught and brought before the nation," he said.
 

Yadav further said that it was not right to take anybody's name, including that of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, in connection with the VVIP chopper deal.

"Taking name of Soniaji or anyone in the Agusta deal is wrong. Instead of taking names every day, solid action should be taken. Whoever is accused should be booked," Yadav said.

The senior JD(U) leader was here to address a joint meeting of the party's state unit office-bearers, executive members and district presidents to chalk out party's future action plan.

Taking a swipe at the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, Yadav said instead of giving speeches, the government should focus on work. "Although it is a BJP government, they are working like an opposition," he taunted.

When asked, Yadav welcomed the Bombay High Court's direction to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) for demolition of scam-tainted Adarsh Society building in south Mumbai.
