Madhya Pradesh Revenue and Transport Minister Govind Singh Rajput said the Congress is deliberately conspiring to defame me.
Reacting to a complaint made by the Congress to the Income Tax Department, Minister Rajput said this move of the Congress is done deliberately as conspiracy against me and politically motivated.
Rajput said the documents which are already available online because they are public documents on this basis the Congress has taken step of false and fake propaganda.
Rajput said the opposition has come down to cheap politics. When the time comes, the people of Surkhi assembly constituency will give a befitting reply to this act of the Congressmen.
MP Congress media cell chief KK Mishra filed the complaint against the minister. The Congress complaint alleged Rajput amassed massive amounts of wealth illegally from 2020-2022, with which he (Rajput) has purchased immovable properties in the name of several ‘benami’ people in different parts of the state.
An investigation of stamp duty evasion should too be conducted against him, Mishra said.
Rajput allegedly took a “gift” of 50-acre land in Sagar district from his brother-in-laws earlier this year.
Singh brothers purchased the land in September 2021, just months before it was “gifted” to the minister.
The Congress has filed the complaint with the ‘benami properties prohibition wing’ of the income tax department. The alleged irregularities in the transaction has robbed the state of several crores, the Congress alleged.
