Amid efforts to mitigate the tension among various factions of the ruling Congress in Madhya Pradesh, two party MLAs have reportedly accused state Public Health and Family Welfare Minister Tulsiram Silawat of corruption, which the minister has denied, saying, "It is a matter of our family."
Asked about these allegations, Silawat told reporters on Thursday, "I do not want to comment. This is a matter of our family."
Talking to PTI, he said, "These allegations are baseless and must have been made due to some misunderstanding. My father has already said that this is a matter of the Congress family. So I do not want to talk on this issue."
