"A cabinet sub-committee was constituted during the previous cabinet (meeting), I have been made the Chairman for it. The Chief Minister has said that the report should be submitted in two months, we have started (the process). We have listed about 20-25 scams, we will review all of them," he said.
"....if they (BJP) indulge in vendetta politics, what should we do? we should also do politics, so we will seek reports and act on them," he said in response to a question whether the government became aggressive against the opposition's alleged scams, after they started targeting those in the ruling party in connection with various scams.
