Earlier on Monday, Kamal Nath hit out at the Shivraj-led government, saying that the level of corruption was such under BJP rule in the state that even people owning 50 acres of land can get themselves onto the 'below poverty line' (BPL) list by paying bribes.

Dubbing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as 'thagraj' (king of cheats), Nath alleged the latter had deceived the state's people in his 18-year rule.

"A system of corruption has been created in the state. Give money and get work done. Yesterday, I was in Raisen and Vidisha. I was told corruption has reached to such an extent that even if a person owns 50 acres of land, he can get his name added to the BPL list by paying money," Nath said.

"Be it education, health or investment, they [BJP] have ruined everything. They have made Madhya Pradesh 'chaupat' [rundown/tattered] state. There are about one crore unemployed youths in the state," he said, adding Chouhan was only making false announcements.
