Mishra granted ads to close ones: LoP

Leader of Opposition in the State assembly Ajay Singh said Minister of Public Relations Narottam Mishra has facilitated advertisements to his close ones at massive scale and to evade this he is propagating the point which was not witnessed in the Assembly proceedings.

Ajay Singh in a statement alleged that if government is honest in advertisements, then list of agencies and organisations outside Madhya Pradesh, which have been provided with advertisements of Rs 140 crore, should be made public.

In the name of media, the BJP has provided advertisement to outsiders and RSS to propagate their hidden agenda, he said, adding that Narottam Mishra, in the name of medi, has obliged those who have worked to achieve his vested interest.

The information given in the State assembly regarding expenditure of Rs 640 crore in the past four years in not true and real expenditure of advertisements has been revealed as the real expenditure is around Rs 3500 crore in the past 4 years.

He said that he had said on the Governor’s address that the amount spent over publicity if used for welfare of farmers and poor would have changed the condition of the state.

In the present scenario, the government employees are completely dissatisfied.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in the state assembly that one comes out with request only with a feeling that his demand would be fulfilled, but the request is outcome of annoyance of the employees, he added.

Singh further said that when teachers tonsured their heads in protest, lamps of blood were lit, are willing to commit suicide, taking oath of not to vote for BJP and slogans like Kamal ka Phool Hamari Bhool  are raised means that it is not request, but it is the height of dissatisfaction on the verge of explosion.
