AMRAVATI, Feb 21 � President Pratibha Patil�s son and Congress MLA Raosaheb Shekhawat today said the �communication gap� between him and the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) led to the seizure of Rs 1 crore in cash by the local police ahead of the civic polls on February 12, reports PTI.
�There was a communication gap and MPCC could not inform me how and when the fund was dispatched and I came to know only when the Amravati Police seized the vehicle and recovered cash to the tune of Rs 1 crore.
�I got a call from the person bringing cash to Amravati when police detained him. After the seizure, I contacted MPCC office who then quickly faxed detailed statements of disbursement to Amravati Police,� Shekhawat told reporters after recording his statement before the Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar.
