Guna (MP): Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Sunday ended his seven-day-long fast here seeking immediate disbursal of compensation to farmers affected by the crop damage and a CBI probe into alleged MPPEB scam.
Singh also gave a 15-day ultimatum to administration to do the needful and threatened to approach court of law if “justice is not done to affected farmers”. Singh ended his fast, which he had begun near the collectorate on Monday, in presence of his MLA son Jaivardhan Singh, former MP and his brother Laxman Singh and the state unit party vice-president Rameshwar Neekhra.
He accused Guna district administration of “misleading” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the in-charge minister concerned on the issue, saying, “If farmers do not get justice in the next 15 days, I will knock the doors of the court on the issue.” Singh demanded that the survey on crop losses and the distribution of aid be completed within 15 days and the process be videographed.
He also asked Congress workers to record the distribution process on their end as well. (PTI)
