Congress has accused the Madhya Pradesh government of irregularities in liquor contracts, citing a ₹2.75 crore e‑FDR, a ₹76 lakh security deposit and a ₹1 crore alleged bribe, and urged Prime Minister Modi to order a fair investigation.
The Congress party has launched a political offensive against the Madhya Pradesh government, alleging serious irregularities in the allocation of liquor contracts. The party highlighted a digital financial document (e‑FDR) worth ₹2.75 crore, a security deposit of ₹76 lakh and a purported bribe of ₹1 crore as evidence of misconduct.
According to the Congress statement, the e‑FDR was issued without following standard procurement procedures, while the security deposit and alleged bribe point to a pattern of financial impropriety. The party contended that these transactions undermine transparency and fairness in the state's liquor licensing system.
Congress leaders demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervene and direct an impartial inquiry into the matter. They argued that a central-level probe is essential to restore public confidence and to hold any officials responsible for the alleged violations.
The state government has not yet issued a formal response to the accusations, and the issue is expected to intensify as the opposition pushes for a swift investigation.
