Senior congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted: "The BJP government of Madhya Pradesh had earlier ruined the future of the youth with the Vyapam scam. Now, injustice to poor children and pregnant women! Did "Mama" (reference to Mr Chouhan) form the government with Maharaja (reference to Jyotiraditya Scindia) just to commit such scams?"
