Digvijaya slams centre for including his name in BPL list

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday lashed out at the central and Madhya Pradesh governments for having included his and his brother's name in the below poverty line (BPL) list and demanded those responsible be punished.

"GOMP (Government of Madhya Pradesh) and GOI (Government of India) include my name my brother's (Lakshman Singh) name my son's name in BPL! We all are Income Tax payees," he said in a tweet.

"We have neither applied nor taken any benefit under BPL. This is a conspiracy against me and my family. Those responsible should apologize and should be punished," he said in another tweet.
