Union Minister and Congress candidate from Guna Lok Sabha seat Jyotiraditya Scindia today challenged Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to prove him wrong on the issue of sanction of a medical college in Shivpuri district.
"If Chouhan proves me wrong, then I will leave politics at this moment but if he is wrong then he should immediately resign from the Chief Minister's post," an angry Scindia said.
Chouhan had, during the campaign for BJP candidate Jaibhan Singh Pavaiya, said Scindia's statement about opening a government medical college at Shivpuri was "a biggest lie".
Scindia released a copy of letters written by Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's Joint Secretary Vishwas Mehta informing Principal Secretary Ajay Tirkey of Madhya Pradesh Health Department that the government of India had accorded sanction to medical colleges in Shivpuri, Vidisha, Khandwa, Shahdol, Datia, Ratlam and Chhindwara.
"BJP is an expert in spreading lies and it should be given 11 out of 10 marks for doing so," Scindia said.
