The Congress on Tuesday demanded a CBI enquiry into the alleged recruitment and admission "scam" in the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. "Not only Munnabhai MBBS (a reference to fake doctors) are coming to fore in Madhya Pradesh. There are also Munnabhais among teachers, police and in the transport department.
The scam in Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (VYAPAM) is not just confined to Pre-medical tests," the newly-appointed ClP leader of Madhya Pradesh Satyadev Katare said.
levelling serious allegations of corruption against the BJP leaders in Shivraj Singh Chouhan's Cabinet, the Congress said that the admission and recruitment scam gripping VYAPAM is spread out in the other States of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as well and hence an enquiry by the Special Task Force of the State won't suffice.
"When INlD chief Omprakash Chautala can go to jail in a similar case, then why not (Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister) Shivraj Singh Chouhan," said Katare, who was addressing a Press conference at AICC with PCC chief Arun Yadav. The leaders claimed that though VYAPAM existed for a long time, the scams happened during Chouhan's tenure.
"There are huge irregularities being reported during Chouhan's tenure," Katare said alleging that the "caucus of IAS and IPS officers" has used the institution to "manage" degrees and jobs. The AICC also released documents detailing the alleged role and conduct of the Chief Minister and senior officers of the State.
