The defence claimed that the picture was shot on July 16, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Chouhan stated that he did not know the person concerned and contended that several people at various functions share stage with him.<\/p>\n<p>When his attention was drawn to another person in the photograph, the Chief Minister identified the man as his Cabinet colleague Rampal Singh.<\/p>\n<p>The defence argued that Chouhan had made Kirar the member of the Commission, a position equal to a minister of state rank. He also contended that Chouhan and Kirar belonged to same caste.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to some controversial incidents in the state, Gupta told Chouhan that these had brought disgrace to the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you feel that Vyapam scam as well as the killing of eight alleged SIMI members by the police in an encounter last year have invited global condemnation?&#8221; Gupta asked the CM, who in turn replied, &#8220;I do not know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chouhan said that under his leadership, Madhya Pradesh has won four &#8220;Krishi Karman&#8221; awards for its excellent performance in agriculture sector.<\/p>\n<p>He said that Madhya Pradesh has become a developed state now, shedding its &#8216;BIMARU&#8217; tag which was assigned to it during erstwhile Congress regime during 1993-2003.<\/p>\n<p>Chouhan&#8217;s statements were recorded in five pages.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2014, Mishra had alleged in a press conference here that 19 youths from Gondia in Maharashtra, the native place of Chouhan&#8217;s wife Sadhana Singh, were appointed constables in state Transport department after they cracked a recruitment test conducted by Vyapam.<\/p>\n<p>Following the allegation, the state government had on behalf of Chouhan filed the defamation case.<\/p>\n<p>The CBI is investigating the Vyapam scam on the directions of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>The scam allegedly involving politicians, senior officials and businessmen pertains to alleged irregularities in job recruitments and admissions by the state&#8217;s professional examination board.<\/p>\n<p>The scam involved different exams conducted by Vyapam.<\/p>\n<p>The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 7.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today deposed before a court in connection with a defamation suit filed by the state government on his behalf against a Congress leader for &#8220;maligning&#8221; him and his wife in relation to the multi-crore Vyapam scam.
