Cong wants FIR against MP CM in Vyapam case

Stepping up offensive on 'Vyapam' scam case of Madhya Pradesh, Congress today raised questions over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intent to fight corruption and demanded registration of an FIR against Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan besides a CBI probe.
Five days after a delegation of Congress leaders met the Prime Minister seeking Centre's intervention into the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examinations Board scam, the party attacked Modi for "doing nothing" on this front and wondered "whether he is also part of corruption."
Former Union Minister Kapil Sibal took a dig at Modi over his 'Mann Ki Baat' talk on radio and his 'Chai Pe Charcha' campaign during Lok Sabha polls.

"Every month the Prime Minister tells people his 'Mann Ki Baat. He should tell people what is his Mann Ki Baat (heart talk) on this issue. Whether his heart is anguished that a Chief Minister of his own party has played with the future of students. Chai Pe Charcha should also happen at tea stalls in Madhya Pradesh and this issue should be discussed there," he said.
"We had met the Prime Minister days back on the issue but nothing has come through it so far. Modi, the BJP and the RSS should introspect about it. Why the party with a 'difference' is trying everything to brush this scam under carpet," he said.

In a letter to the Chairman of the Special Investigation Team handling the case, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh he got the orginal excel-sheet based on the computer hard disk of Nitin Mohindra, the main accused in the scam and had also got it verfifed from a reputed lab.

"... I request you to add the name of Chouhan as an accused along with concerned officers of Indore police, who have committed a serious offence of tampering with the evidence.
"The police officers or others who are found to have conspired with Chouhan, must also be charged with same offence and their name may also be added as accused," Singh wrote.

Alleging that the evidence was "tampered with the connivance of the state government," Singh demanded the case should be handed over to CBI as Special Task Force sleuths can not investigate the case against the Chief Minister, who writes their confidential reports.
"We have no confidence in STF in this matter," the leaders said.
They questioned why the central government was "hesitating" to get this matter probed by CBI, when they strongly demanded for CBI enquiry in an officer's suicide case in Congress-ruled Karnataka to which the state government agreed.
