Congress seeks Jitendra Singh’s resignation

Jammu, May 4

The J&K Congress on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Union Minister Jitendra Singh and a high-level probe into allegations of corruption levelled against him by BJP leader and former MLC Vikram Randhawa.

The JKAP has also demanded a probe into the matter. J&K BJP secretary Randhawa, who is the president of the Stone Crusher Owners Association, has levelled serious allegations against Singh’s office in Jammu over the issue of mining policy and also threatened to immolate himself. The party’s disciplinary committee served Randhawa a show-cause notice, hours after he went public against Singh. On Tuesday, a group of Congress workers led by its youth wing president Uday Bhanu Chib assembled at the party’s headquarters here and staged a protest to press for the Singh’s resignation. — PTI
