Union Home Minister and BJP president Rajnath Singh on Friday ruled out a change of leadership in Madhya Pradesh in the light of Professional Examination Board (PEB) scam pointing out that a high court-directed probe was already underway.
“There is no question of it,” he told newspersons when asked whether there is any possibility of replacing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
The Congress had last week accused Chouhan and his family members of being involved in the Madhya Pradesh PEB (MPPEB) scam, related to recruitment in various Government jobs and also in the Pre-Medical Test (PMT) and demanded Chief Minister’s resignation.
“A high court-directed probe has already been initiated. So the question does not arise at all,” he said.The MP police’s Special Task Force (STF) is probing the scam after it came to the fore in 2013.
The State Chief Minister has already rubbished all charges and even filed a defamation suit against State Congress chief spokesperson KK Mishra for levelling “baseless” allegations against him and his wife.
