Virtually ruling out his resignation, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan today said his government would urge the Supreme Court also to order a CBI probe into the Vyapam scam.
"The Congress and the opposition cannot tolerate the path of progress under me in Madhya Pradesh. They have been demanding my resignation from the beginning. They are bringing disrepute to Madhya Pradesh," he told reporters here when he was asked about the demand for his resignation.
Chauhan, who is in the capital for discussions with party leaders, said the matter relating to Vyapam scam would be coming up before the Supreme Court tomorrow.
"We requested the (Madhya Pradesh) High Court that the probe should be done by CBI. The matter is likely to come up before the Supreme Court tomorrow. We will make the same prayer there too," Chauhan said.
