The Congress has accused Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of misleading the people on the issue of rooting out dacoits menace from the state.
The Congress reaction comes a day after Chouhan directed the (police) officials to launch an intensive campaign to eradicate menace of dacoits from the Chitrakoot region of the state.
An official release issued yesterday said Chouhan made it clear that stern action would be taken against those who are assisting or providing shelter to the dacoits and also directed police to take action against them in Chitrakoot region.
While accusing Chouhan of misleading the people about his achievements, the Congress said Chouhan had claimed that the dacoit menace had been rooted out completely from Madhya Pradesh then why he felt the need to issue fresh directives to nab the dacoits in Chitrakoot region.
The leader of opposition Ajay Singh accused the chief minister of misleading the people on this issue.
"The CM claimed on several occasions that dacoits have been eradicated from the state. However, he himself exposed his lie by issuing directives to the officials. What was the need to tell the officials to launch campaign against dacoits, if his previous claim was true," Singh added.
Singh also said that everybody knows that the dacoits have committed several crimes in Chitrakoot region of the state.
Of late, several reports of movements of dacoits in Chitrakoot region, about 500-kilometers from the state capital, have been reported.
During a television show in 2015, Chouhan had claimed that the menace of dacoits has been completely eradicated from the state.
State BJP spokesman Rajneesh Agrawal however said that the state had become free of dacoits.
"The border of this area (Chitrakoot region) is linked with Uttar Pradesh. So, CM issued directives only to deal with the effect of trans border effect of dacoit-infested area of Uttar Pradesh," he added.
