Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh here on Tuesday questioned inaction against Union Minister Uma Bharati whose name had also figured in the MPPEB exam scam.Talking to mediapersons at Indore Press Club on Monday, Digvijay questioned the double standard of the State Government as on one hand it has sent former state minister laxmikant Sharma to jail for his involvement in the scam, on the other hand it has not taken any action against Uma Bharati whose name had also figured in the scam.
He also alleged involvement of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's family in the scam. Speaking further on the issue, Singh also alleged tempering with the hard disc recovered from the MP PSC scam accused Nitin Mahindra. But at the same time he added that he had re cord of the original content of the hard disc and in case the SIT which is currently probing the matter, set free the accused, he would surely reveal names of all the accused.
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking credit for the Civil Nuclear liability bill and his agreement with the US President Obama on the issue, the senior Congress leader said that in fact it during the regime of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the scheme of nuclear power plant had been mooted to do away with power crisis in the country. At that time, it was the BJP which had objected to this move and now Prime Minister Modi is bringing out the same legislation.
Talking about Prime Minister RsJan Dhan Scheme', he said 75% of the bank accounts opened under the RsJan Dhan Scheme' has no cash. He also lashed out at the Prime Minister on his rhetoric on black money saying that Prime Minister Modi during his campaign of the lok Sabha elections had claimed to bring back black money to India and deposit a cash of Rs 3 lakh in the account of each individual. However, it has been several months since the Prime Minister is in power, no such money has been deposited in the bank accounts people in the country.
The Prime Minister had promised of bringing back good days to the people of India but it is the BJP and its workers, leaders who are experiencing good days, Digvijay said adding that Modi had formed the government on the issue of development but surprisingly after coming to power, the government has failed on all fronts and now it is diverting attention of the people by raking communal issuues like RsGhar waapsi', etc.
