  • | Monday | 10th December, 2018

Nobody should teach party discipline to a person born in the party. I was quiet because of family and party discipline. “I will study the standing committee proposals and only then will take a decision,” Adke said.Being asked about Patil’s letter, she said: “He is talking about party discipline. As per Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act, it is up to the land owner whether to accept cash or TDR. During the no confidence motion against former civic chief the entire city has seen who flouted party discipline.

Nashik: Standing committee chairman Himgauri Aher-Adke on Friday said that she would seek legal opinion for replying to a letter given by leader of the house Dinkar Patil alleging that the former is forcing officials to give cash compensation in the survey 705 case.Patil had written to BJP city chief and MLA Balasaheb Sanap and mayor Ranjana Bhansi on Friday accusing Adke of going against the ruling of giving transfer of developmental rights (TDR) to the owner of survey number 705 by asking the officials to pay the compensation in cash.Adke, who had refused to comment then, came back strongly against the allegation during a press meet on Monday. She said, “Survey No. 705 is sub-judice. The high court had ordered that the owner be given cash. As per Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act, it is up to the land owner whether to accept cash or TDR. In this case the land owner had accepted part payment as TDR and the remaining in cash.”She added, “This is an old approval that came to the standing committee now. In 2018-19, members of the NMC are insisting on TDR. Town planning department has to ask the owner if he wants TDR. If he refuses then cash should be paid. In this case also the owner was asked. If the administration does not give cash then it would be contempt of court.”Adke also said that she was writing to the law committee to know about the legality of two more cases. “I will study the standing committee proposals and only then will take a decision,” Adke said.Being asked about Patil’s letter, she said: “He is talking about party discipline. Nobody should teach party discipline to a person born in the party. During the no confidence motion against former civic chief the entire city has seen who flouted party discipline. Aher family has always worked for the city and not for personal gains. I was quiet because of family and party discipline. I will take legal opinion and only then will speak on the letter.”She also warned that she would not tolerate any personal allegation or disrepute to her family’s name.
