A political war is brewing in Madhya
Pradesh over sodomy allegations on the states former finance minister
Raghavji. The Opposition leader has hit out at Raghavji who resigned on
Friday after his domestic help accused him of sodomy.
Congress leader and Vidhan Sabha leader Ajay Singh has demanded
security and government job as compensation for the alleged sodomy
victim.
Raghavji resigned on Friday as the Madhya Pradesh Finance
Minister following allegations that he sodomised his domestic help.
Raghavji's resignation followed a complaint by a member of his domestic
staff that he was allegedly sodomised by the former minister, who
promised to get him a permanent government job.
Raghavji denied the sodomy charges
against him and has alleged political conspiracy. "I am not aware of the
allegations. The allegations against me are wrong," Raghavji said. "The
CM will talk about the reason of my resignation. There could be
political conspiracy behind the allegations," he added.
He also said he was not aware of any CD. "The boy left a month
back. If he has put any such allegations of sodomy against me, they are
all baseless," Raghavji said.
The victim has alleged that two of the minister's men also
sodomised him. As evidence, he has submitted a CD shot by another one of
the former minister's domestic workers.
The domestic help of Raghavji went to the police on Friday
morning with an affidavit and a CD and the moment the matter reached
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, he asked Raghavji
to resign pending inquiry. Jayant Mallya took charge as the new Madhya
Pradesh Finance Minister.
Congress party workers in Bhopal also held demonstrations outside a police station against Raghavji on Friday.
