Panaji: AICC General Secretary and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh on Saturday claimed he and his family were included in the list of Below Poverty Line (BPL) people by the Central and State (MP) governments. “GOMP (Government of Madhya Pradesh) and GOI (Government of India) includes my name, my brother’s name, my son’s name in BPL! We all are income tax payees,” Singh tweeted this morning before heading for Goa.

The 69-year-old politician tweeted “we have neither applied for, nor taken any benefit under BPL. This is a conspiracy against me and my family.” “Those responsible should apologise and should be punished,” Singh further tweeted. The veteran Congressman is arriving in Goa to chair the coordination committee meeting of the local party unit which will discuss alliances for the upcoming State Legislative assembly elections.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Rameshwar Sharma was quoted as saying, “It’s a question for Digvijaya Singh. He should reply as to how come he is poor. He can be seen as mentally poor. He can reveal on what basis is he poor, on which basis did he apply, how was the card made, and on what basis does he want to take advantage of the card.”
