Green Ray International got undue favour from Prasanna Acharya: BJP Bhubaneswar: The Odisha unit of BJP on Thursday accused BJD MP Prasanna Acharya of having shown undue favours to chit fund company Green Ray International when he was the Health Minister of the state.

“Prasanna Acharya had shown great generosity towards the fraudulent Green Ray International and Seashore Chit Fund Companies when he was the health minister,” alleged BJP MLA Pradip Purohit addressing a press conference here.

“Green Ray didn’t have any previous experience in drugs making. Yet, they were allowed to sign a Rs. 80-crore MoU with the state government while being given license to manufacture drugs,” he added.

Demanding a CBI probe into the matter, the Padampur legislator asked why the BJD MP had attended the inauguration of the Balasore office of the tainted company.

On the other hand, Prasanna Acharya said he had never shown kindness to anybody and BJP has levelled the allegation against him only because of the upcoming Bijepur elections

“I challenge them to make public any mistakes, corruption or misappropriation I might have made as a minister and furnish any documents in this regard to the CBI, Vigilance or to any Special Inquiry Commission, so that they can take action against me,” Acharya said.

“They have brought allegation against me as we always speak against the anti-Odisha policies of the BJP-led government in the Centre. Secondly, they are targeting me because of the upcoming Bijepur elections, which I might contest from Bijepur if the party wants me to,” he said.

“That’s why the BJP is casting aspersions on my character and playing the blame game,” he added.
