Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said he will file defamation case against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for leveling corruption charges against him and his family yesterday.
“You have been making patently false allegations of Vyapam to Panama Papers against me and my family. Tomorrow (Tuesday), I am filing a criminal defamation suit for maximum damages against you for frivolous and malafide statements,” Chouhan said.However, referring to his yesterday’s statement, Rahul Gandhi today gave explanation over his statement. Rahul said he had got confused because of numerous corruption in the BJP. “BJP mein itna brashtachaar hai ki main kal confuse ho gaya tha. Madhya Pradesh ke CM ne Panama nahi kiya unhone to e tendering aur vyapam scam kiye hain (There is so much corruption in BJP that I got confused. The Madhya Pradesh CM has not done Panama but he has done e-tendering and Vyapam scam.
In an election rally in Jahbua yesterday, Rahul Gandhi had alleged: “Name of the son of CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan surfaced in the Panama papers, but no action was taken. Even a country like Pakistan punished its former PM when he was named in the Panama papers.”
