Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh on May 15 took a dig at the BJP government in the state and said that it was running a private business there. The Congress leader made the remark while talking to the media persons in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district on Monday.
"Madhya Pradesh government is not running the government, it is doing a private business. Who owns the private business? Whose partnership company is this? It is of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his cabinet ministers. Some new shareholders have come into this company who are called Maharaj BJP (referring to Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia)," Mr. Singh said.
BJP people have the sand contract and mining contract in the state. MLA from Jabalpur's Panagar constituency Indu Tiwari owns the whole business of the Public Distribution System (PDS) and 50 to 60% of the food grains available to the poor are being sold in the market, he added. Mr. Singh further said that the Congress workers were being harassed and were being implicated in false cases. Their houses were being demolished and sent to jail.
