Madhya
Pradesh Finance Minister Raghavji today resigned from his post after an obscene
CD purportedly featuring him surfaced and a police complaint by his servant
alleging that he was being sexually exploited by the
Minister.
The 79 year old
minister submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who
forwarded it to state Governor Ram Naresh Yadav for acceptance, official sources
said.
Chouhan is learnt to have
asked Raghavji to resign after an obscene CD purportedly featuring him surfaced
and the minister's servant filed a police complaint yesterday against him
alleging that he was being sexually
exploited.
Raghavji had set a
record by presenting the state budget for 10 years in succession from 2004 to
2013.
The sources said that
Chouhan has asked Water Resources Minister Jayant Malaiyya to look after the
finance portfolio.
Describing
the incident as unfortunate, Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly
Ajay Singh said that in politics "moral corruption" was a much worse thing than
corruption.
