Ratlam: A case has been registered against Congress MP Kantilal Bhuria for ‘inaugurating’ a government medical college a day before Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was scheduled to launch it.
Reportedly, Bhuria, a former Union minister who represents the Ratlam-Jhabua Lok Sabha seat reached the Government Medical College at Banjali in Ratlam along with his supporters and a priest and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday.
“Since Tuesday is an auspicious day, I inaugurated the college as the project had been approved during the UPA government,” he told reporters after the event.
