The UPA-2 formed in 2009 may.The year 2009 was smoothly went.But the year 2010 made a worst effect on it.Because so many scams were evolved in 2010.The scandals which were evolved in that year were ADARSH HOUSING ,COMMON WEALTH GAMES,2-G SPECTRUM,WIKILEAKS CABLES.ADARSH housing scam was evolved on MAHARASTRA CM "ASHOK CHAVAN".The scam was revealed by RTI[Right To Information Act] activists.In this housing society the homes were allocated to the soldiers of KARGIL war.But some houses in that society were allocated to the relatives of the chief minister.The RTI activists revealed this matter when they urged the government under this act.
The highrise was built subject to the condition that it would house war veterans, but now has 103 members, which include relatives of Chavan. However, the outgoing chief minister clarified that for him ‘family’ is restricted to his wife and two daughters. Chavan’s late mother-in-law Bhagwati Manoharlal Sharma, relatives Seema Sharma and Madanlal Sharma also figured in the list. Bhagwati Manoharlal Sharma, 77, died at ‘Varsha’, the chief minister’s official residence, in July. The two relatives have submitted letters of withdrawal of their membership.
Former Army chiefs Generals Deepak Kapoor and N C Vij and former Navy chief Admiral Madhavendra Singh and Vice-Chief Gen Shantanu Choudhary also got flats in the society. They have offered to surrender their flats on the grounds that they did not know the land was meant for the widows of Kargil war heroes. Former chief secretary D K Sankaran’s son, Sanjoy, is also among the allottees. The list also includes the names of former Union environment minister Suresh Prabhu, Nationalist Congress Party MLC Jitendra Avhad, Congress leader Kanhaiyalal Gidwani and his two sons, a close aide of a senior Maharashtra minister, the children of some bureaucrats, serving bureaucrats, Seema Vyas and Idzes Kundan, and an individual by the name of S B Chavan. Ashok Chavan’s late father and former home and defence minister was also S B Chavan.
According to the present market rate in the Colaba area, an average two-to three-bedroom-hall-kitchen (BHK) flat in Adarsh society could cost between Rs 6 crore and Rs 8.5 crore. However, members of the society paid Rs 60-85 lakh for each flat.
The Western Naval Command had objected to the construction of the society as it also violates the stringent Mumbai Coastal Regulation Zone norms.
