The MLA from Amreli seat demanded that the government order an enquiry by a sitting high court judge in the groundnut scam. Two days after chief minister Vijay Rupani admitted to lapses in procurement of groundnut in the last Kharif season, leader of opposition Paresh Dhanani on Tuesday demanded his resignation. Now, even the chief minister has accepted that there were irregularities in procurement. "Imagine the circumstances that the chief minister had to request NAFED for procurement, and also clarify that irregularities wouldn't happen this time," he said..
