Congress Alleges Liquor Scam in Madhya Pradesh, Seeks PM Modi's Probe
The Congress party has accused the BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government of a liquor scam involving irregularities in contracts and a disputed fixed deposit receipt worth over Rs 2.75 crore. Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Jitu Patwari have called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order an impartial investigation, questioning if he is shielding corruption. The BJP and Madhya Pradesh government have not responded to these allegations, while the former state chief minister, now Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has reportedly criticized the state government.
