Row over transport constables entrance examination-2012
The State Congress on Wednesday sought the resignation of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Transport Minister Bhupendra Singh for giving false statements on Transport Constables entrance examination - 2012, conducted by Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesman KK Mishra in a statement said, “Chief Minister made declaration in the State Assembly that neither a single official of my Government nor any worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is involved in the MPPEB scam.
While the Transport Minister addressing the media persons in the State capital denied of any irregularity in the Transport Constables entrance examination – 2012 and had then claimed that the whole process was carried out in transparent way.”
Mishra further said that both Chief Minister and transport Minister have claimed that no one from outside the State was selected through the Transport Constables entrance examination – 2012.
He said that after the registering of FIR by the STF in the Transport Constables entrance examination - 2012 it has become clear that the statement of Chief Minister in the assembly was false and hence he should immediately resign from the office as he no longer ahs the moral right to occupy the high esteemed office.
He said that despite claims of transparency in the Transport Constables entrance examination — 2012 by the transport minister the registering of FIR by the STF against 39 personals, hence his claims made while addressing media have turned out to be false, so if he has a little bit of morality in him he should immediately resign from his post.
The senior Congress leader said that the grand old party would continue its tirade in the future also against the corruption done by people occupying high constitutional offices and who are centre of constitutional power. Such persons would be exposed with more firm proofs, he added.
