Bhopal: Even as the death toll in the Vyapam scam mounted on Monday with the death of a woman trainee cop , Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that “not every death is linked to the Vyapam scam”.
“It is sad and unfortunate incident. But with all responsibility I say that there is no connection of that unfortunate incident with Vyapam or its probe. And it is not fair to link all such unfortunate incidents with Vyapam,” he said.
The Madhya Pradesh BJP government-led by Chouhan is facing severe criticism over “40 deaths” under mysterious circumstances connected to the Vyapam scam.
Stepping up its attack, Congress on Monday said Chouhan cannot escape responsibility and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take “moral responsibility”.
“The Chief Minister cannot be spared. He should take responsibility,” Congress spokesperson P C Chacko said in New Delhi.
The opposition is demanding a CBI probe into the scam.
More than 40 people associated with the admission and recruitment racket in Vyapam or the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board have died since 2013 – either in mysterious circumstances or have committed suicides.
