Madhya Pradesh governor accepts
minister's resignation
Bhopal, June 3: Madhya Pradesh Governor Balram Jakhar Tuesday accepted
the resignation of the state's Health Minister Ajay Vishnoi, official
sources said.
Vishnoi had submitted his resignation Monday following last week's
income tax raids on the premises of his brother Abhay Vishnoi and
others connected with the purchase of medicines in the state and
mounting pressure from the opposition Congress for a Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) probe into the supply of medicines.
About 40 teams of the income tax department, involving 200 personnel,
conducted simultaneous searches at the premises of senior health
department officials and businessmen engaged in the supply of
medicines at Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur last week.
Among those whose premises were raided were Home Secretary Rajesh
Rajora, who has since resigned from the post, Director of Health Ashok
Sharma, retired Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official U.K.
Samal, and builder-turned-newspaper owner Arun Sehlot. (IANS)
