Birla refutes allegations of duress
Addressing media persons at the inauguration ceremony of the newly constructed tehsil office, MLA Sachin Birla said that the allegations levelled against him of accepting money to switch political party or that he did it out of fear are completely baseless.
Birla said that he has committed no crime. During the tenure of the Congress government, the necessary irrigations projects and the development works of the area were not being approved due to which he decided to leave the Congress and join the BJP. After he joined the BJP, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has sanctioned Rs 2,863 crore for the same. The tenders for the project have also been floated. As many as 80 villages will be provided with water for irrigation purposes under the project. Apart from this, Chouhan has also sanctioned Rs 15 crore for the construction of roads and bridges at Barwah through public welfare department, he added.
