Ahmedabad, 2 February 2012

Gujarat High Court today rejected a petition of former Congress Councillor Ratna Vora challenging Gujarat government’s spending on Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s Sadbhavana fasts.

The High Court today said that it has no power to control the expenses of the elected government.

In her petition, Ratna Vora had alleged misuse of government treasury challenging the expenses in Sadbhavana fasts. Vora was earlier asked by the court to produce evidences to prove her point, but she couldn’t produce any proof today.

The court had earlier disposed of two petitions questioning the huge expenditure incurred on chief minister Narendra Modi’s three-day Sadbhavna Mission with severe criticism. The court held that the petitions were without any foundation and based only on newspaper reports.
