Home Minister Bala Bachchan has on Friday claimed that the State Government has come across some vital evidences in the Vyapam scam and soon some major revelations would be made in the case.
Replying to a query while talking to mediapersons in Jabalpur, Bachchan claimed that the CBI was probing the scam independently and the MP Government has no role to play in it. But the Minister claimed that the State Government has found some vital links of the scam which would help them unravel this mega scam.
“Shortly we would be holding a press briefing for sharing the links with the media,” said the Minister.
Since Vyapam scam was a major election plank during Assembly elections, the Congress party which came to power in year 2018, is facing criticism from different corners for not taking any strong action in the case.
On several occasions, the Congress Ministers have parried off queries on the scam in press briefings without offering a reply. Even the whistleblowers who had actively exposed the scam during the BJP Government too every now and then put the Government in the dock over alleged inaction against Vyapam culprits.
Primarily linked to the BJP rule in MP, Vyapam scam was exposed in year 2013 when a middlemen racket was busted which used to rig Pre Medical Tests. A subsequent probe had unearthed a massive examination and recruitment scam in MP Professional Examination Board primarily known by its Hindi acronym — Vyapam.
Meanwhile, the Home Minister while commenting on the Godse being worshipped in Gwalior by Hindu Mahasabha said that Godse is the murderer of Mahatma Gandhi and those worshipping him are exposing their culture. In Congress, we all follow footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi, he said.
