According to reports, the controversy centers on alleged irregularities in the awarding of contracts for paper supplies to government departments in the state. While the BJP has highlighted the issue in public forums, the Congress party has not issued an official statement or response.
BJP officials have called for a transparent investigation and have asked the Congress to break its silence, suggesting that the opposition's inaction could be perceived as tacit approval. The matter is expected to feature in upcoming political debates in the state.
