Priyanka Gandhi Alleges Oversight of Corruption in Shivraj Government by ED:
AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi accused the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday of disregarding allegations of corruption within the Madhya Pradesh government.
While addressing a public gathering in Mohankheda, Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, Ms. Gandhi claimed that the ED was selectively targeting Congress-led governments in the state and was not investigating allegations of corruption within the BJP government in the state.
She alleged that during Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s 18-year tenure as Chief Minister, around 250 corruption scandals had come to light.
In response, the BJP dismissed these allegations, asserting that Priyanka Gandhi lacked knowledge about Madhya Pradesh and merely recited a speech provided to her by the state’s Congress leader, Kamal Nath. BJP spokesman Dr. Hitesh Vajpayee stated, “She (Ms. Gandhi) is not familiar with Madhya Pradesh. She makes unfounded allegations without any basis. She visited the state as a visiting politician and recited the speech prepared for her by Mr. Nath.”
Priyanka Gandhi expressed skepticism regarding the implementation of the women’s reservation bill recently passed in Parliament, suggesting it may not be enforced for at least a decade.
She also pledged that if the Congress were to come to power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming year-end assembly elections, they would fulfill their promises of providing a monthly incentive of Rs 1500 to women and waiving crop loans for farmers.
