Rajnath Singh rules out replacing Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister and BJP president Rajnath Singh today ruled out change of leadership in Madhya Pradesh in the wake of Professional Examination Board (PEB) scam saying a high court directed probe was already underway.

"There is no question of it," he told reporters when asked whether there is any possibility of replacing Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Demanding his resignation, Congress had last week accused Chouhan and his family members of being involved in the Madhya Pradesh PEB scam, related to recruitment in various government jobs and also in the Pre-Medical Test (PMT).

"A high court directed probe has already been initiated. So the question does not arise at all," he said.
