However, later reacting on the chit fund scam Governor P. B. Acharya assured the CLP delegation that he will talk to the higher authorities at Delhi in this regard and will take a necessary actions.
The CLP today stated that after immense pressure from the opposition parties the state government on May 12, 2013 referred cases and on May 27, 2013 another 10 cases to the CBI for investigation. The CBI out of 37 cases being forwarded by the state govt. has accepted only five cases and expressed reservation in pursuing remaining 32 cases as the amount is relatively small.
