Raising questions over the campaign launched by former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Madhya Pradesh Public Relations Minister PC Sharma raised doubts talking of a possible ‘BJP conspiracy’ behind the heinous incident.
While talking to media persons, Sharma said that the fact that the accused was given a shanty on rent by a BJP worker only a few months ago and the police were not informed of this according to rules and then BJP workers were trying to make hue and cry over the incident in the same locality, reeked of conspiracy.
He further said that the police nabbed the culprit in 24 hours, presented the charge-sheet in 48 hours and expecting verdict within a month. However, the BJP is making big issue out of the incident.
“So, I have asked the police to probe all possible angles,” Sharma said.
“Also now the former chief minister is starting his so called campaign to save girl children and attempt to form local level committees (mohalla samiti) from the same locality is all questionable. Such attempts cannot be specific but is a government move. So many incidents of violent crime against women happened in the BJP regime. Why did Shivraj Singh Chouhan not start such a campaign then?” the minister asked.
Earlier, Sharma also said that the BJP and RSS are known for hatching conspiracies and this could be a move to defame the Congress government.
At his residence, Sharma also narrated a list of achievements of state government during the past six months, highlighting the fact that the government got only three months to work due to election code of conduct.
Congress government would complete six month in rule on June 17.
“We have fulfilled almost 100 promises out of our vachan patra in this duration. From farm loan waiver to investment approval of Rs 6 crore, halving power bills of farmers, doubling pensions of senior citizen and DA of employees, increasing the sum for girls’ marriage scheme, upgrading of cow shelters and so on,” he said.
In-charge ministers, district Congress presidents and other office bearers would hold press conferences at district level and meet workers and people to highlight their six-month achievements, he said.
