MP Chief Minister faces embarrassment as 2 ministers accused of bribery.
Bhopal:
The Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in Madhya Pradesh is facing an embarrassment over a diary which allegedly names two senior ministers Rajendra Shukla and Culture Minister Laxmikant Sharma getting huge pay offs. The dairy was recovered during raids on mining barons Sudhir Sharma and Dalip Suryawanshi in June, 2012.
Meanwhile the Congress has demanded resignations of both the ministers.
"The Chief Minister should immediately take the resignation of the two ministers, said Ajay Singh, Leader of opposition, Madhya Pradesh."
However, both the ministers have denied the allegations.
"The ministers have said that they are innocent. This is a diversionary tactic by the Congress," said Narottam Mishra, State Health Minister and government spokesman.
But one can't deny the connection of the mining barons with the BJP. Former college teacher Sudhir Sharma is now worth over Rs 4000 crore, rising to new heights during the BJP regime while other mining baron Dalip Suryawanshi has close association with the MP Chief Minister.
The dairy has been handed over to the CBI, Enforcement Directorate and the state Lokayukta.
