The BJP on Wednesday alleged former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had made "recommendations" for appointments in the Makhan Lal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication here.

The allegation came days after similar reccomendations were found to have been issued by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for appointments in the university.

The 'notesheets' provided by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) give details of the recommendation to appoint Ramcharan Joshi as professor and executive director and Sharad Behar as the director general.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court had recently cancelled an appointment of Arun Yadav, made during Digvijaya Singh's tenure while probing all the appointments, leading to revelations of 'notesheets' being given out by different individuals.
