Chandigarh, August 30

Congress MP Partap Singh Bajwa today hit out at Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh for drawing parallels between the Rs 55-crore scholarship scam and the 16-year-old bitumen scam, which was reported when he was the PWD minister.

Terming the CM’s statement a personal attack on him, he said in the post-matric scholarship scam, an Additional Chief Secretary had questioned his own minister. Bajwa said the bungling had been revealed in an internal report of the Social Welfare Department. — TNS
