Chauhan accused of conspiracy

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesman Manak Agrawal on Saturday alleged that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, State Bharatiya Janata Party president Narendra Singh Tomar and Cabinet Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya were behind the “conspiracy” that culminated in flashing of currency notes by BJP MPs in the Lok Sabha during the discussion on the trust vote this past Tuesday.

Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters here, Mr. Agrawal alleged that the money had been collected from the State and the top BJP leaders from Madhya Pradesh took the money to Delhi by a State Government aircraft on July 21.

Mr. Agrawal said: “It had now been established that a bundle of notes displayed in Parliament carried a slip showing that it had been withdrawn from the T.T. Nagar branch of the State Bank of Indore in the State Capital”.

Mr. Agrawal asked the Chief Minister to explain why he had to suddenly leave for Delhi by a State aircraft and the reason for Mr. Vijayvargiya and Mr. Tomar to accompany him.

Mr. Agrawal also asked what was inside “three leather bags” that were taken to Delhi by this flight and to reveal the identity of those who met him in his Madhya Pradesh Bhawan suite before the dinner hosted for MPs on July 21.
