Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal, Congress president Kamal Nath said he never labelled Chouhan as a madari or a juggler He said Chouhan had been calling himself a “madari” on his own.
In a sharp attack, Nath said as Shivraj Singh sounded the ‘damru’, Madhya Pradesh became the number one state in rapes, farmer suicide, unemployment, corruption and illegal mining. He attacked Chouhan on the Vyapam scam, a recruitment and admission scam.
The Congress has been out of power in Madhya Pradesh since 2003.Nath had recently said that Chouhan was making announcement like madari (juggler) after Chouhan during his jan ashirwad yatra, claimed that he was a ‘madari’ who works for the betterment of state people.
Nath said that CM has beaten the drum in such a manner that in Vyapam scam, those who gave bribe were in jail while the persons who received it are roaming scot free. Crores of saplings were planted on the banks of river Narmada but only a few thousands could be seen, he alleged.
Nath said in last 13 years Chouhan had turned a blind eye to the woes of poor, farmers, unemployed youths and labours, and now since elections are near, he has suddenly showing concerns towards all, said the Congress leader.
Instead of developing the Madhya Pradesh in fields of industry, education, agriculture, health, infrastructure, the state is leading in rape, farmer suicide, unemployment, malnutrition, illegal sand mining and corruption, said Nath.
The Congress leader said that the CM wanted that agriculture shall become the profitable business for state farmers, but he (Chouhan) is the only farmer who has reaped all benefit while others are in distress, said Nath.
