Uma Bharti scared of deaths connected with Vyapam scam



Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti on Monday backed Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh, who is under tremendous Opposition pressure for his resignation over the Vyapam scam. While speaking to a English news channel, Uma Bharti said she herself is scared by the number of deaths associated with the scam.

“There is panic in Madhya Pradesh due to the deaths. I am scared for the lives of people connected to me. I am a minister, but still I am scared. I will convey my fears to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan,” Uma Bharti told.

Uma Bharati’s name has been included in one of the Vyapam-related FIRs on the basis of the statement of an accused. Uma has claimed that her name in the list is a ‘deep conspiracy’.

“It is a very deep conspiracy. The biggest example of the deep conspiracy is that my name is in it. Because I have nothing to do with this. If I am there, then some very serious conspiracy is there,” Bharti told

Uma also said she was the first person to have suggested a CBI probe into the scandal.

“I was named in the FIR as per an accused’s version. This is unfair. I am shocked that my name has been dragged into this. I was the first to suggest a CBI probe,” said Uma Bharti.

“I stand with Shivraj ji; I’m concerned about him as he’s a very sensitive person. He must be very upset about these deaths,” Uma Bharti said.

Two more persons — woman sub-inspector Anamika Kushwaha, recruited through the MP Professional Examination Board, and police constable Ramakant Pandey, a suspect in the scam — died in suspicious circumstances on Monday, raising the total deaths of persons connected with Vyapam to 45.
