The Adarsh housing scam involved the illegal allocation of apartments in a Mumbai housing society meant for Kargil war heroes. Politicians like Ashok Chavan and Vilasrao Deshmukh approved the project. Flats were allotted to politicians, bureaucrats and their relatives at a fraction of the market price. An investigation found the project violated environmental laws and was not meant for war heroes as claimed. Both Chavan and Deshmukh denied wrongdoing in their responses to the inquiry. The scam highlighted the deep corruption in Indian politics.

- 26. What did the concerned person reply on Adarsh scam?
- 27. What Mr. Ashok Chavan said in his Affidavit? Ashok Chavan in his 8 page affidavit said land was sanctioned by Union Rural Development Minister and his predecessor Vilasrao Deshmukh. He had made all procedural clearances. Allotment of land took place more than 16 months after he ceased to be the Revenue Minister. The file was put up before him as a revenue minister. He had called a meeting and after meeting people he had passed on the file to the collector to check up all the position of the land to question and let him know. By the time everything came on his table he was not the revenue minister. He was not involved with any recommendation to include civilian members in the building meant for armed forces personnel in upscale Colaba area. At that stage the matter relating to allotment of land was still only at the stage of verification of the proposal and there was no question of the Revenue department having taken any decision on allotment of land.
- 28. What Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh said in his affidavit? Deshmukh had filed an 15 page affidavit before the two-member Adarsh inquiry commission on June 17 claiming that the Adarsh Housing Society land in Mumbai belonged to the Maharashtra government and was never reserved for defense personnel or Kargil war heroes. While allotting land to Adarsh Society he had acted on the proposal sent by Revenue Department and Mumbai Collector. The records maintained with the office of the Collector of Mumbai clearly show that the land belonged to the state government. The ownership of the land was never an issue at any stage so far he’s concerned. He blamed the revenue department, whose minister was Chavan, and the Mumbai collector for okaying the real estate project. There was no reservation on the Adarsh Society land for housing of Defense personnel or Kargil war heroes either under the Development Plan for Greater Mumbai or under any of the policies of the state government. He denied on the insistence of Gidwani that the Revenue department was asked to put up the case of allotment of land to Adarsh. He approved the proposal to relax the domicile norm/condition in the case of Generals Vij and Kapoor. This decision was fully justified and fitting considering their eminence and distinguished services to the nation, he said.
