Posters calling former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and current State Congress chief Kamal Nath “Wanted Commission Nath” were put up by unidentified persons in Bhopal on June 23, prompting a war of words between the two political camps in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh.
While the Congress alleged that the act was “dirty politics” by the BJP, the ruling party denied having anything to do with the posters and said it was a result of internal politics within the Congress.
The posters that were spotted in Manisha Market, Shahpura and Shaitan Singh intersection areas of the State capital, label Mr. Nath as corrupt along with a QR code that leads to the message ‘Who did the farmer loan waiver scam of 25,000 crores, CD scam of 350 crores, mobile scam of 1,963 crores, wheat bonus scam of 1,178 crores, fertilizer scam of 600 crores’ in Hindi. These alleged “scams” pertain to Mr. Nath’s tenure as Chief Minister between late 2018 and early 2020 and the BJP has often made these allegations in the past.
