Congress targets MP CM for sharing stage with PMT scam accused

“He is the CM and it was a community function. I don’t become guilty just because there’s an FIR against me. I have lived an honest life. I should be punished if evidence is found against me,” Kirar told The Indian Express.

“If the allegation that I could get candidates clear the medical examination is true why would I have sent my son to do his graduation to a faraway medical college in Karnataka?,” asked the 71-year-old, who enjoys the status of minister of state in the state.
Congress spokesman K K Mishra alleged that by sharing stage with an accused, the CM has proved that the racket happened on his watch and that he was protecting the big fish like Kirar. Kirar said he had volunteered in the probe on his own and promised all cooperation till the probe was on.
