Rajnath backs MP CM: NO CBI probe into Vyapam

July 06, 2015 17:10

Union Minister Rajnath Singh today backed Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and explained why he cannot order a CBI investigation into the Vyapam recruitment scam that has rocked the BJP government in the state after multiple mysterious deaths.

"As Home Minister I am ready for a CBI probe. But it is already being investigated by a special investigation team under the supervision of the High Court. The High Court has said no," Rajnath Singh said, after Chouhan briefed him on the case.

The Congress on Monday stepped up its attack on Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan over the Vyapam scam, saying that he should be sacked to allow an impartial probe and that he cannot escape responsibility for the "45 deaths" connected to it.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the opposition party said he should explain and take moral responsibility for the events.
