The Secretariat had become a “haunt” of intermediaries during the time of the Congress, said the Prime Minister.
Indore:
The Madhya Pradesh secretariat had become a “lair” of middlemen where the exchange of money was once discussed when the Congressional government was in power, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Monday.
He also accused the previous government of deceiving farmers in the name of having granted them a loan exemption.
“The previous government had made the secretariat a haven for middlemen where the exchange of money was discussed,” Chouhan told reporters.
He said that the entrepreneurs stayed in the secretariat, and even the members in power were unable to meet the chief minister at the time.
“I say this with great pain that during the previous congressional regime, such intermediaries used to pretend that they could do anything with the government with money,” he said.
Chouhan said former congress chief Jyotiraditya Scindia and (22) MPs joined the BJP because they knew the Kamal Nath government would ruin the state if it remained in power for a long time.
He said that the spread of the coronavirus in the state and in the most affected areas of Indore had been controlled.
“The recovery rate in Indore has reached 64% while it is around 68% in the rest of the state,” added Mr. Chouhan.
