Madhya Pradesh BJP President V.D. Sharma claimed that a case related to alleged violation of rules over the construction of a shopping mall when Digvijaya Singh was MP’s Chief Minister will be reopened.

Madhya Pradesh’s Bharatiya Janata Party president V.D. Sharma on May 31 said that a case related to an alleged violation of rules over the construction of a shopping mall, which arose when Digvijaya Singh was MP’s Chief Minister, would be reopened.
He also attacked former Congress president Rahul Gandhi over the latter’s comments in the United States, saying that genes which are symbols of “slavery” were still in his blood.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Sharma said: “The case related to the construction of Indore’s shopping mall ‘Treasure Island’, in which Mr. Singh had got the clean chit [from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)], will be reopened soon. It will soon come to the fore how he got a clean chit in this matter.”
The BJP leader did not elaborate about whose orders the case would be reopened on.
Hearing a petition, the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court had in 2012 directed the CBI to probe into alleged irregularities in the construction of the shopping mall.
It was alleged that in 2002, at the behest of the then CM Digvijaya Singh, the proposal for the construction of this commercial centre was approved by the State government in contravention of rules.
