Dera Bassi Congress in-charge Deepinder Dhillon, Zirakpur MC president Udayvir Dhillon, Dera Bassi MC president Ranjit Singh Reddy and Lalru Municipal Council president’s husband Mukesh Rana today rejected the allegations made by Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma of wrongdoing on their part.

Deepinder Singh Dhillon today said Sharma was making baseless allegations as he could foresee his defeat in the upcoming elections.

Responding to Sharma’s allegation of misappropriation of MC funds, Deepinder alleged that Sharma had got at land at Bhankharpur Patti village registered in his name in spite of stay orders and re-constructed a petrol pump there.

Udayvir Dhillon said the Dera Bassi MLA had allegedly misused public money in his housing and commercial projects in the past.

Responding to Sharma’s allegations of misappropriation of funds in the installation of street lights in the parking area of Shri Nabha Sahib Gurdwara, Dhillon said the street lights were installed before the release of Rs23 lakh to the contractor.

Rana said the alleged illegal felling of trees by Sharma was a non issue as these were axed as per the rules.

Sharma said he would quit politics if Deepinder Dhillon and the three MC presidents proved allegations of corruption. “If I have done something wrong, why the government has not taken any action yet?” he said.
