Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Congress' Priyanka Gandhi, on Friday, accused the BJP government of breaking its own record in corruption and charging 50% commission from contractors to release their payment, citing a letter written by state Contractor Association to Judge of Gwalior High Court Bench. However, BJP state president VD Sharma called the letter "dubious".
Posting a news article on X (formerly Twitter), Gandhi wrote, "The Union of Contractors in Madhya Pradesh has written a letter to the Chief Justice of the High Court complaining that payment is received only after paying 50% commission in the state. The corrupt BJP government in Karnataka used to collect 40% commission. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP has gone ahead by breaking its own record of corruption.
"The people of Karnataka ousted the government with 40% commission, now the people of Madhya Pradesh will remove the BJP government with 50% commission from power."
Reacting to Gandhi's post, BJP State President Sharma said that the party would take legal action against her. He claimed that it is a dubious letter which has been used by Congress to corner the state government.
