BHOPAL: In a befitting reply to the no-confidence motion passed by Congress on Wednesday, CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan alleged that during the leadership of Kamal Nath massive transfers of IPS officers and state govt employees took place that indicated the trust the party in power had earned.
He added that the Kamal Nath govt had cheated the tribes of the Baiga, Sahariya, Bharia, and other tribal communities. According to Chauhan the beneficiaries of the tribal societies never received their benefits under the tribal compensation schemes. He further laid down the stats of the schemes that were provided by the centre which clearly indicated discrepancies.
