FollowCongress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday (October 5) launched a scathing attack on the Shivraj Chouhan-led government in Madhya Pradesh. Accusing the state administration of deep-seated corruption, Priyanka alleged that despite several scandals occurring in Madhya Pradesh, no meaningful investigations have taken place.
She cited the Vyapam scam as an example and questioned the absence of investigations in the state. Priyanka also questioned the discrepancy in the proportion of government jobs allocated to the SC/ST/OBC category, given that a caste census in Bihar revealed that 84% of the population falls into these categories.
