The leader of the opposition in Madhya Pradesh assembly, Ajay Singh has criticised the ruling BJP in the state for its "failure in rooting out corruption."

"The BJP had come to power to root out corruption. But it has failed to do anything against it," he said at a public meeting at Daboh town in the district.

He further alleged that BJP has broken all records of corruption ever since it came to power in 2008 and also accused the saffron party of indulging in corruption in wheat purchase in the time of drought in Tikamgarh district.

"Law and order situation in the state is deteriorating and murders, loot, dacoities, rapes and abductions have become the order of the day," he said.

Singh claimed that people of Madhya Pradesh have already made up their minds to pull down the BJP government in the next assembly elections.

Meanwhile, in a statement, Singh also hit out at the state BJP president Prabhat Jha for criticising Congress president Sonia Gandhi on her going abroad for medical treatment.
