Congress drags BJP-RSS leaders into Vyapam scam

New Delhi, July 15: The Congress on Wednesday said the alleged kingpin of the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh shared the ill-gotten money with top BJP and RSS leaders, including RSS Sarsanghchalak Suresh Soni and union minister Dharmendra Pradhan. “Vypam’s ill-gotten money soiled in the blood of innocents was shared by certain BJP-RSS leaders,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said at a press conference here. Displaying several documents, Surjewala claimed that Vyapam scam kingpin Sudhir Sharma, along with former Madhya Pradesh minister Lakshmikant Sharma, shared the money they made from the racket with Pradhan, Soni, BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Anil Dave, BJP vice president Prabhat Jha and his sons Tushmul Jha and A. Jha.

“We demand the immediate resigtion of Chouhan and Dharmendra Pradhan and action against Prabhat Jha and others,” the Congress leader added. “No independent, fair, free and impartial investigation to find the kingpin and the guilty in the Vyapam scam is possible until Shivraj Singh Chouhan is removed as chief minister of Madhya Pradesh,” Surjewala said.  (IANS)
