Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], April 11 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Jitu Patwari welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his visit to the state on Friday and recalled his slogan of not tolerating corruption in the country, asking whether the PM will take action against corrupt people or not.

Patwari alleged that PM Modi had said that he would get back the money from those who have looted the country's wealth. But his double engine government in Madhya Pradesh seemed to be saving those people who looted the nation.

Speaking to ANI, Patwari said, 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi is welcome in Madhya Pradesh. He held big rallies in the state around 1.5 years ago during assembly polls and Modi's guarantee was talked about in all those rallies. But not even a single guarantee has been fulfilled till date. Neither MSP of wheat is being provided at Rs 2700 a quintal nor paddy MSP at Rs 3100 a quintal nor Ladli Behna being given Rs 3000 a month nor LPG cylinder at Rs 450 nor 2.5 lakh employment. Instead the state is getting deep in debt.'

He further highlighted that over 4 lakh women have been ruled out from the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana and none of any new beneficiaries have been added in the scheme

'I request PM Modi that his guarantee seems to be a guarantee that can never be fulfilled. He should take cognizance into it. Secondly, PM Modi had given a vision of no corruption in the country saying 'neither will he eat (referring to corruption) nor let anyone do so'. But the ex-constable of state transport department Saurabh Sharma case is related to a scam worth over Rs 20,000 crores in the last five-seven years in the state. Huge gold was recovered and it is yet to be known whom it belongs to. An alleged red diary was recovered but it has disappeared. Leaders belonging to your party (BJP) had their names in that alleged red diary,' the Congress leader said.

He also claimed that the Lokayukta police are engaged in managing that diary and the whole system is engaged in saving Saurabh Sharma.

'ED also intervened to investigate the matter but that too returned without doing anything. Sharma also received bail in one case. PM Modi, you have said that you will get back the money from those who have looted the country's wealth. But your government is saving those people who looted the nation. So please clarify whether you take action against those who are involved in corruption or not,' Patwari asked.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Anandpur Dham in Isagarh Tehsil of Ashoknagar district, on Friday, reaffirming his commitment to promoting India's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. During his visit, the Prime Minister will offer prayers at the Guru Ji Maharaj Temple and tour the temple complex at Anandpur Dham. (ANI)
