Digvijay Singh gathers evidence on corruption against BJP-ruled MP government
Congress veteran Digvijay Singh gathered evidence on "corruption" in Madhya Pradesh government during his Narmada Yatra, which he is going to reveal soon, said Ajay Singh, Leader of Opposition in Assembly. The 3,300-km-long yatra, which was started on September 30, 2017, will conclude tomorrow. Singh (70) and his wife Amrita started "Parikrama" of Narmada river as a "religious and spiritual" exercise from Narsinghpur district.
Whistleblowers gave documents to Digvijay regarding illegal mining in MP
After completing his yatra, the former CM would surely reveal about the rampant corruption prevailing in the state, Ajay Singh said. During the yatra, aggrieved people and whistleblowers gave Digvijay Singh documents pertaining to the alleged illegal mining and wrongdoings in the Narmada river, state Congress leader PD Sharma, who had also walked some distance during the yatra, claimed.
People's overwhelming support to Digvijay baffled MP CM
The overwhelming support that he has received during the yatra from people, especially the religious leaders, has baffled the CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Digvijay Singh's son and Congress MLA Jaivardhan Singh said. "Chouhan is so scared that he recently accorded the MoS status to five saints in a futile attempt to dim the impact of my father's yatra," he added.
MP government accorded MoS status to five Hindu religious leaders
BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, which goes to polls later this year, recently accorded MoS status to five Hindu religious leaders viz Narmadanand Maharaj, Hariharanand Maharaj, Computer Baba, Bhayyu Maharaj, and Pandit Yogendra Mahant. The five saints proposed a stir against an alleged scam in state government's Narmada conservation program. A day after getting the MoS status, two of them canceled their proposed agitation.
Worried about Narmada River's plight due to illegal mining: Digvijay

The Narmada is the "oldest" river in India, he had said during his yatra covering 11 Assembly constituencies in the state and demanded urgent measures to ensure its revival.
