The Opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh has alleged that rampant corruption is going on in the amounts released in the name of Simhastha by the Ministers, officers and contractors.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee spokesman Ravi Saxena in a statement here on Thursday said, “On the one hand Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is doing unpardonable work of getting applause by inaugurating the incomplete works of Simhastha, while on the other, saints harassed with the mess and mixing of five ravines water in Kshipra are doing hunger strike.”
Saxena further said that Pilot Baba is doing Satyagraha up-to New Delhi against mixing of Khan River’s dirt in Kshipra River while the astute ministers of the state who are hands in gloves with officers and contractors are doing rampart corruption in the amount released for Simhastha. The condition of corruption and the activities of corrupts’ touts could be seen in every department of the Simhastha city Ujjain that the game of expending lakhs of rupees in the name of urgent works is being done on petty works is going on, he added.
