Congress releases charge-sheet against M.P. Govt.

Bhopal: The opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday released a 96-page charge-sheet against the BJP government levelling a total of 139 allegations against it.

The charge-sheet was released at a press conference by the State Congress president Suresh Pachouri in the presence of party general secretary Narayansami, in charge of the State.

Mr. Pachouri said that BJP in its manifesto for the December 2003 Assembly elections, had made a large number of promises to the people and most of these remained unfulfilled.

He said that it had promised to sort out the power situation in the State within 100 days of coming to power but the present state of affairs with regard to electricity was much worse than what it was in 2003.

He said that the state of corruption under the BJP government could well be imagined by the fact that the Lokayukta was investigating into corruption charges against the Chief Minister and several of his Ministers.

He said that three BJP Ministers had been removed from their posts after they faced corruption charges. PTI
