It's a political conspiracy: Ashok Chavan on Adarsh

“It’s unfortunate. It’s a political conspiracy hatched by my political opponents to keep me out of public life. The issue has been blown out of proportion. I was neither connected to the allotment of land or to the membership of the society,” he said.

"I have full faith in juciary and its process. I will come out clean. I have done no wrong. The matter is sub-judice. I will prove my innocence in the court. I will consult my legal team," he added.

Earlier, the CBI named Chavan among 14 people chargesheeted on Wednesday in the multi-crore Adarsh Housing scam, which also includes several retired Army officers and top Maharashtra bureaucrats.
